Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The Bills bet big and early on Jordan Whittington, 57 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Slovis value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 28th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Payton Wilson a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 99 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
A clean, defensible pick in the 162nd pick with a little surplus value in Chau Smith-Wade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A conviction pick on Jaylan Ford at pick 165 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylen Harrell in Round 6, Pick 22. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick 206 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis slid further than he should have, and slot 249 is lovely value for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
