Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Jackson: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Donovan Jackson, the No. 86 name on the board, in slot 131. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Hairston has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They talked themselves into Maxwell Hairston at slot 56, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick62 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Good price on Isaiah Bond in No. 62, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Phillips at the 108th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They will replay Mello Dotson at pick No. 171 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A quarterback of that caliber at the 175th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
You do not let a running back like LeQuint Allen reach pick 179 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Circle this one: Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 206 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A slide stopped in pick No. 208, with Jordan Hancock worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
