Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Corum fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Blake Corum, the Round 4 slot, roughly 44 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A cornerback of that caliber at the 60th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Somehow Blake Corum was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 28, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in slot 134, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at pick 144. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
They will replay Sataoa Laumea at the 163rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
You do not let a wide receiver like Luke McCaffrey reach No. 189 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
The board fumbled Dillon Johnson all the way to the 200th pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 204th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick248 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett slid further than he should have, and slot 248 is lovely value for the linebacker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
