Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Bills torched the value chart for Joshua Cephus, taking him 28 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in the 61st pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in No. 99; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 162, where Jaylen Wright graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 166th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalen Green
A conviction pick on Jalen Green at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in Round 6, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in pick 207, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
Donell Harris Jr. in the 250th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
