Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Bills this weekend: D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bills shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Newton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 83rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at pick 128 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Elijah Jones reach the 134th overall pick and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 144 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They let Luke McCaffrey come to them and pounced at No. 160. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 163; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in slot 189 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 200th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in pick 248 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
