Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Logan Lee, 35 picks early at the Round 6 slot.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Bishop to cover a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 28 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
You do not let a linebacker like Edgerrin Cooper reach No. 60 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Washington. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 129th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in the 159th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy little value on Mason McCormick in pick No. 162, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey in slot 198 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in pick No. 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 31 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
