Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Liufau: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Marist Liufau had no business being available in the 189th overall pick, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the McCaffrey reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at No. 60, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 101st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 28, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No edge and no loss on Mason McCormick in pick No. 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Johnson at slot 160 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in the 163rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
The board fumbled Marist Liufau all the way to Round 6, Pick 14, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in the 200th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
The board had M.J. Devonshire higher than pick 204, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
No drama and no debate, Jalen Coker went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
