Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
The Bills land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Bills spent real capital to be 24 picks early on Jordan Jefferson, and the board is going to hold them to it. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Owens steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 28th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in slot 60. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in the 99th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
They liked Fabien Lovett enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 29. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in pick No. 143; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They took Luke McCaffrey at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in No. 162 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick 202 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A premium they did not need to pay, Myles Cole a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Circle this one: Tyler Owens at the 246th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
