Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The Richard Jibunor pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 64 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Laumea that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 1, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 60th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Jarrian Jones at pick No. 134 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They paid sticker price for Jalyx Hunt in the 144th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Good price on Kitan Oladapo in No. 160, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
A slide stopped in No. 189, with Cody Schrader worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Value with a capital V on M.J. Devonshire in pick 200, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor in Round 6, Pick 29 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bub Means
Nothing to complain about; Bub Means went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
