Draft Grade — Bills

Carson should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Caelen Carson, the No. 94 name on the board, in pick 144.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Tupuola-Fetui left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
The board fumbled Tyler Nubin all the way to No. 60, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Davis at pick No. 128 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Brade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Caelen Carson
Circle this one: Caelen Carson at slot 144 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick 160 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They barely believed it either: Tommy Eichenberg still on the board at Round 5, Pick 27. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in the 189th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They paid a round early for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 204, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Taking Ryan Flournoy in the 248th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
