Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B

Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 27: the Bills steal Jones and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Christian Jones, the No. 132 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

It is not that Hunt is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They are betting Hunt proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 28 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Nothing to complain about; Braden Fiske went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in pick 128. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A want over a need in No. 134: Jalyx Hunt adds a S-EDGE while linebacker, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick144 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 144th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 160 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 163rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Travis at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
The board had M.J. Devonshire higher than No. 200, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick204 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They liked Keith Randolph Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 204. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at the 248th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
