Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 134 spots for Richard Jibunor, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

However the rest shakes out, Cohen at that price is a win they earned. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 28 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 28: Kris Jenkins for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in No. 99 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in pick No. 128, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A straight-up fair deal on Kitan Oladapo at the 162nd pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Javion Cohen in the 197th overall pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Richard Jibunor
A big swing on Richard Jibunor at pick 202, well ahead of any board in the building. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick206 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
They left a pile of value on the table to take BJ Mayes this early at Round 6, Pick 31. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick249 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 249th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
