Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Curtis Jacobs at the 160th overall pick, roughly 38 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Fisher falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey slipping to Round 2, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adisa Isaac in the 60th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 74 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Value with a capital V on Blake Fisher in slot 128, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
A wild overpay on Dillon Johnson in the 144th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at slot 160 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
