Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B+.

Nobody had Vincent Anthony Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 72 spots to get him at pick No. 168.

However the rest shakes out, Jackson at that price is a win they earned. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Value with a capital V on Omar Cooper Jr. in pick No. 48, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A reach on Darrell Jackson Jr. in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
Nice patience on Brian Parker II, who had no business lasting to pick 126. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 165th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Vincent Anthony Jr. this early at slot 168. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Reggie Virgil
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Reggie Virgil at Round 6, Pick 1. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Domani Jackson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Domani Jackson in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
No drama and no debate, Jimmy Rolder went about where he belonged in the 231st pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
