Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Leonard Taylor III, 40 picks ahead of schedule.

Getting Mustapha where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
A wild overpay on Leonard Taylor III in Round 2, Pick 28, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Brennan Jackson at the 133rd pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at the 143rd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
The board had Tykee Smith higher than slot 159, and the safety fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They barely believed it either: Malik Mustapha still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
They read the board right and M.J. Devonshire was the payoff at the 199th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
No edge and no loss on Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
