Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Lassiter: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kamari Lassiter, the No. 40 name on the board, stolen at the 99th overall pick.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Ali lower, and that gap is the story. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slipping to No. 60 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
You do not let a cornerback like Kamari Lassiter reach Round 3, Pick 36 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in pick 129 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the 159th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Taking Mohamed Kamara in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at the 198th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They paid up for Josh Proctor at slot 202 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rasheen Ali well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They went early on Matthew Jones in the 246th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
