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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick 204 on KT Leveston, a name most had 38 spots down the list.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Getting Devonshire where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 28th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
They paid a round early for Devontez Walker in the 60th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in slot 128, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Anthony Gould
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Gould a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in No. 144, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A reach on Malik Mustapha in pick 163; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They jumped the gun on Kendall Milton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at the 200th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick204 Rnd6 KT Leveston
KT Leveston in Round 6, Pick 29 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Richard Jibunor this early at pick No. 248. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
