Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 204 lands the Bills a B, Cowing and all.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jacob Cowing fell into No. 204.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
You do not let a wide receiver like Adonai Mitchell reach No. 60 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A slide stopped in the 128th overall pick, with Matt Goncalves worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy bit of business in the 134th pick, where Javon Foster graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A tidy little value on Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey is a better player than slot 160 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A quiet steal in pick No. 163: Dallin Holker for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tommy Eichenberg
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to the 200th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
They barely believed it either: Jacob Cowing still on the board at slot 204. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
