Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Richard Jibunor, 71 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in pick 60 leaves linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They jumped the gun on Cole Bishop, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at pick No. 129. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 7, and that is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 159th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalyx Hunt a notch or two before his time. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Value with a capital V on Jase McClellan in No. 198, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Nathan Thomas at slot 202 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
A big swing on Keaton Bills at the 206th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at pick 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
