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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Javon Baker at the 159th pick, roughly 27 spots before his name belonged.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Jacobs pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Good price on Tykee Smith in slot 99, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 129 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They reached into another round for Javon Baker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They let Curtis Jacobs come to them and pounced at the 197th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Nice patience on Isaiah Davis, who had no business lasting to No. 202. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Hall a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevor Keegan. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
