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

Some picks age like wine; Charles Turner III at slot 204 will need to, sitting 94 spots clear of his grade.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They banked enough surplus on Beebe to cover a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in No. 35. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and slot 60 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 67, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 90th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in Round 4, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 134; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in No. 144, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in the 163rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at pick 189 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at slot 200 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at slot 248 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
