Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
The Bills let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Bills ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Tupuola-Fetui has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They let T.J. Tampa come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 28. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick 106 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Oladapo at No. 144, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 160th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They paid a round early for Myles Cole in pick No. 189, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They liked Zion Tupuola-Fetui enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 200. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
The board fumbled Jha'Quan Jackson all the way to Round 6, Pick 29, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at slot 248 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
