Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 42 spots for Myles Jones, and value like that does not grow back.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 60 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 36. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in pick No. 142 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at the 162nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They paid up for Jordan Jefferson at slot 165 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
No edge and no loss on Gabe Hall in slot 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu in pick No. 202 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
They reached into another round for Donovan Jennings, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Demorie Tate
A straight-up fair deal on Demorie Tate at the 249th pick, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
