Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
McGlothern should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B-.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into the 204th pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Reaching for McGregor left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A conviction pick on Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 60 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at the 128th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braiden McGregor well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A reach for Layden Robinson in slot 160; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They will replay Malik Mustapha at the 189th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Taylor. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
