Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a B-.

The Bills did not so much draft Joe Milton III as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Devonshire at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 60th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at pick No. 122, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in pick 127 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a better player than the 133rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in Round 5, Pick 7 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slid further than he should have, and the 162nd pick is lovely value for the safety. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A slide stopped in pick No. 188, with Caedan Wallace worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the 199th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A quiet steal in pick 248: Kimani Vidal for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
