Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Davis: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ray Davis fell into the Round 5 slot.

Cooper has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 61 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ray Davis
Steal is underselling it; Ray Davis at No. 156 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Nice patience on Joe Milton III, who had no business lasting to slot 166. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A quiet steal in the 200th overall pick: De'Corian Clark for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
They did well to land Roger Rosengarten in the 207th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick 250 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
