Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Bills fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. Frank Crum went at No. 248, a good 46 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. However the rest shakes out, Torrence at that price is a win they earned. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at pick No. 78 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 100 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the 128th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in No. 160 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Jefferson this early at the 163rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Steal is underselling it; Ro Torrence at Round 6, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Crum well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
