Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ryan Flournoy, 37 picks early at the Round 7 slot. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Getting Adams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brian Thomas Jr. in the 28th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Somehow Ennis Rakestraw Jr. was still sitting there in slot 60, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Fair-plus on Beaux Limmer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 133 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in Round 5, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Adams still on the board at the 159th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 162, where Jarrian Jones graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They paid sticker price for Cornelius Johnson in pick 188, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 199 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
They reached into another round for Ryan Flournoy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
