Draft Grade — Bills
Overall F
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the F.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Boyd to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. They banked enough surplus on Devonshire to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at Round 2, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Nothing to complain about; Isaac Guerendo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No edge and no loss on Mason McCormick in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in pick No. 160, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid up for Khristian Boyd at the 163rd pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
By-the-book stuff, Tahj Washington at slot 189 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A conviction pick on Logan Lee at slot 200 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in Round 6, Pick 29 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Owens at pick No. 248, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
