Draft Grade — Bills
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureF
The board had answers; the Bills had Jones. Grade: F.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Matthew Jones. He came off 66 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left interior defensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 128th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in pick 134 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in No. 138, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 144, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 160th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Johnson at No. 163 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton at Round 6, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in slot 189 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in pick 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A running back of that caliber at the 248th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
