Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Greenfield: B.

Call it larceny. Garret Greenfield sat on the board until the 248th overall pick, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at the 60th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Simpson in Round 4, Pick 34, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Cowing at slot 160 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nelson Ceaser. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Travis in pick 189. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Circle this one: Ro Torrence at pick No. 200 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Steal is underselling it; Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
The board fumbled Garret Greenfield all the way to pick 248, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
