Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a D-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jarrian Jones at the 118th overall pick is 30 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

However the rest shakes out, Dixon at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 46th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Bullard. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Good price on Malik Washington in No. 99, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in pick 113, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 118 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in slot 159 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
The board had cheaper options than Khristian Boyd at pick No. 162, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Rogers at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in Round 6, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
A reasonable price with a little left over, Rasheen Ali in the 232nd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
