Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in Round 3, Pick 26 lands the Bills a B+, Tampa and all.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Tampa fell into Round 3, Pick 26. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in No. 57, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 60 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach slot 89 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A tidy little value on Jamari Thrash in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Josh Newton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Josh Newton in pick No. 143, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nelson Ceaser in the 159th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A clean, defensible pick in the 162nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Mason McCormick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 188. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emani Bailey. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick 248 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
