Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for McGlothern: D.

The Bills lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A tidy little value on Payton Wilson in pick No. 60, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A reach for Maason Smith in Round 4, Pick 1; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 144th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luke McCaffrey at pick 160. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
