Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Smith fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tykee Smith had no business being available in pick No. 189, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Boyd reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 28th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in No. 60 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 128th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cedric Gray in slot 134, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No edge and no loss on Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 163 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
The board fumbled Tykee Smith all the way to pick No. 189, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington is a better player than the 200th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They paid sticker price for Logan Lee in Round 6, Pick 29, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
