Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Jaden Shirden. He came off 33 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Milton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with linebacker, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 28th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 28 with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, edge rusher and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 129th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach on Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 143; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 M.J. Devonshire
They reached into another round for M.J. Devonshire, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick198 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They talked themselves into Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 23, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
No drama and no debate, Nick Gargiulo went about where he belonged in slot 202. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kendall Milton in the 206th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
Jaden Shirden at pick 246 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
