Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Jackson should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Jha'Quan Jackson slide 24 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first. The Vaki pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in the 35th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in pick 99 leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in the 129th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They liked Sione Vaki enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 23. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No drama and no debate, Javion Cohen went about where he belonged in slot 162. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A slide stopped in No. 198, with Delmar Glaze worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
They robbed the room for Jha'Quan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
The board had Curtis Jacobs higher than slot 206, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
By-the-book stuff, LaDarius Henderson at the 246th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
