Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

The Bills spent real capital to be 30 picks early on Braiden McGregor, and the board is going to hold them to it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Coleman at that price is a win they earned. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 28th pick they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach pick No. 60 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
Good price on McKinnley Jackson in the 127th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
No edge and no loss on Ainias Smith in No. 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in pick 143 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Mustapha in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in No. 188 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They will replay Rasheen Ali at the 248th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
