Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

The Bills bet big and early on Luke McCaffrey, 38 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Newton pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 127th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in slot 133 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A slide stopped in pick No. 159, with Tykee Smith worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A conviction pick on Jalyx Hunt at No. 162 that the board grades a round light. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at slot 188, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Owens well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in Round 6, Pick 28 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at pick No. 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
