Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B.

The Zion Logue pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 90 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 28 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 28. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in the 132nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malik Mustapha in pick 144, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy little value on Kitan Oladapo in slot 160, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Steal is underselling it; Walter Rouse at pick No. 200 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
You do not let a cornerback like Dwight McGlothern reach Round 6, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at No. 248 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
