Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills land in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody else had Bub Means anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Bills did, by 24 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

If Adonai Mitchell and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Baker
They jumped the gun on Javon Baker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 128th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A reach for Jamari Thrash in slot 133; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 160th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tahj Washington
They paid a round early for Tahj Washington in the 163rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
They went early on Jalen Coker in pick 200, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means at slot 204 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 248th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
