Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot, a reach of 27 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Fair-plus on Brian Thomas Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A premium they did not need to pay, Calen Bullock a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
By-the-book stuff, DeWayne Carter at pick 99 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at slot 129 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Value said wait; Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 162 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
