Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: J.J. Weaver in the 246th overall pick, a good 65 spots before the room expected him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Jacobs pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 60th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Max Melton
A clean, defensible pick in slot 99 with a little surplus value in Max Melton. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in No. 129, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
Value said wait; Delmar Glaze in pick 162 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick 198 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Jones in the 202nd overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slipping to pick No. 206 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They reached a country mile for J.J. Weaver at Round 7, Pick 26, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
