Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Devonshire fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. M.J. Devonshire at the 248th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If Wallace pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. With safety, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 28 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
No drama and no debate, Malachi Corley went about where he belonged in No. 60. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
A surprising call. With safety, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 134th overall pick on Jaylin Simpson, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash slipping to the 144th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Somehow Christian Jones was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in pick 163 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A premium they did not need to pay, Curtis Jacobs a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 200th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in No. 204 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
The board fumbled M.J. Devonshire all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
