Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
The Bills fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bills came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

They are betting Thomas proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Wilson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The Bills clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A tidy little value on Adisa Isaac in pick No. 60, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalyx Hunt. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at pick 134 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in slot 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the 160th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nice patience on Kitan Oladapo, who had no business lasting to No. 163. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Good price on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A straight-up fair deal on Kendall Milton at slot 200, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 34 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Value with a capital V on Ryan Flournoy in the 213th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings in pick No. 226 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 248 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
