Draft Grade — Bills

More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jordan Jefferson; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 50 spots ahead at the Round 4 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Franklin falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 28 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick 60 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in No. 128, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 4, Pick 34 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 James Williams
They robbed the room for James Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Taking Beau Brade in the 160th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
A tidy little value on Hunter Nourzad in pick 163, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
