Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bills, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Turner falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 28th pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 44; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in pick 60. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Value with a capital V on Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 19, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take McKinnley Jackson this early at the 100th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They liked Jamari Thrash enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 113. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 129 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in slot 154, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A slide stopped in the 159th overall pick, with Tykee Smith worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 162 with a little surplus value in Jordan Travis. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
