Draft Grade — Bills

Grand theft in Round 2, Pick 28: the Bills steal Mitchell and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Adonai Mitchell got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the Round 2 slot.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Oladapo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 28th overall pick they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They barely believed it either: Adonai Mitchell still on the board at pick 60. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They went early on Jaylin Simpson in the 128th pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick134 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 134 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid a round early for Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at Round 5, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
No edge and no loss on Marist Liufau in No. 163; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
