Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Bills lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Jordan Magee at the Round 5 slot, roughly 78 spots before his name belonged. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Newton.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than slot 33, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the 34th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 60th pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Steal is underselling it; Calen Bullock at No. 101 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A reach for Mason McCormick in the 134th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A wild overpay on Khristian Boyd in slot 142, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Magee
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Magee in No. 144 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 160 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at pick No. 166 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 167th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They reached into another round for Trevin Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at slot 204 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 248th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
