Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Robinson. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Darius Robinson had no business being available in Round 2, Pick 28, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will need Owens to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
You do not let an edge rusher like Darius Robinson reach the 60th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at No. 127 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick133 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick 133 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Value with a capital V on M.J. Devonshire in slot 198, a genuine coup. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 202. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Owens in the 206th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kenny Logan Jr. in No. 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
