Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 160th overall pick lands the Bills a B+, Jones and all.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bills, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They paid sticker price for Roman Wilson in pick No. 40, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the 75th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 128 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson is a better player than pick 134 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
By-the-book stuff, Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at No. 160 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marist Liufau. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
