Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Richard Jibunor. He came off 90 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 60th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A tidy little value on Sataoa Laumea in pick 129, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Nothing to complain about; Braelon Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
By-the-book stuff, Kitan Oladapo at slot 162 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They went early on Omar Speights in pick 197, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kingsley Eguakun in Round 6, Pick 27, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A real head-scratcher, Dwight McGlothern in the 206th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick246 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Value said wait; Richard Jibunor in No. 246 says they were not listening. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
