Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

Hard to follow the map here. The Bills bypassed linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Javon Solomon at the 99th pick, a spot they had covered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Devonshire pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Solomon has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 28 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 60th pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at pick 129, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarrian Jones at No. 159. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Value with a capital V on M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 198, a genuine coup. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Gargiulo. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
No drama and no debate, Nathan Thomas went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 31. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at the 246th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
