Draft Grade — Bills

ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 6 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Oladapo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 28 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 60th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 28. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jarrian Jones. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid up for Kitan Oladapo at the 144th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jacob Cowing at pick 163. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in slot 196, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick200 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They paid a round early for Drake Nugent in No. 200, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
No drama and no debate, Logan Lee went about where he belonged in slot 204. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
No edge and no loss on Tyler Owens in Round 7, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
