Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The Bills' one glaring miss is linebacker, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Reaching for Davis left real value on the table behind him. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They paid up for Mekhi Wingo at the 60th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A quiet steal in pick 99: Roman Wilson for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 4, Pick 28 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 162 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at slot 165 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
