Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
Guerendo should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bills should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

The Guerendo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The cost of the Cooper reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They liked Edgerrin Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in the 40th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 60 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in slot 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at Round 4, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Somehow Isaac Guerendo was still sitting there in the 163rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
