Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 189: the Bills steal Jones and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Elijah Jones slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at pick No. 189. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Jefferson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A quiet steal in pick No. 60: Roman Wilson for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A tidy little value on McKinnley Jackson in pick 128, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They read the board right and Beau Brade was the payoff at slot 144. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 160th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick is a better player than No. 163 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 189th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in the 200th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Fabien Lovett reach Round 6, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They barely believed it either: Nathaniel Watson still on the board at the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
