Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Lane fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ja'Kobi Lane slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at pick 91. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In No. 26 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 CJ Allen
The board fumbled CJ Allen all the way to the 60th pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
They barely believed it either: Ja'Kobi Lane still on the board at pick 91. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They let Jalon Kilgore come to them and pounced at slot 126. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 166th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They took Riley Mahlman at par in pick No. 220, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jacobe Johnson went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 12. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
