Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills land in the muddy middle: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Richard Jibunor; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 150 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 26. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in slot 60 leaves linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick99 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
No drama and no debate, Matt Goncalves went about where he belonged in pick 99. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalyx Hunt at S-EDGE with linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in pick No. 159, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 162nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial in pick 198 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 206, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
They reached into another round for Richard Jibunor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
