Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Bills torched the value chart for Jalen Coker, taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That Newton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at the 36th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick60 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Corley at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They took Jaden Hicks at par in pick 78, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher is a better player than pick No. 128 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and James Williams at slot 134 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 8, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khristian Boyd. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
No drama and no debate, Dillon Johnson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 189 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
Value said wait; Jalen Coker in Round 6, Pick 29 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 222nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A quiet steal in No. 248: Edefuan Ulofoshio for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
