Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Donovan Jennings at pick 197, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Worthy.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In the 28th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 45 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Value with a capital V on Xavier Worthy in No. 60, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 99 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the 128th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Jaylin Simpson worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in No. 165 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at the 197th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They paid up for Kingsley Eguakun at the 202nd pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in pick 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
No edge and no loss on Walter Rouse in slot 249; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
