Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Bills let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Christian Jones, the No. 210 name on the board, in No. 246. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If Lee pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
Nothing to complain about; Troy Franklin went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen McMillan in the 81st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in Round 4, Pick 29, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Value with a capital V on Malik Mustapha in slot 159, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
No edge and no loss on Khristian Boyd in No. 162; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They let Jaylan Ford come to them and pounced at pick No. 198. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
The board fumbled Frank Gore Jr. all the way to pick 202, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Taking Andru Phillips in Round 6, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick246 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Christian Jones at No. 246 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
