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

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. Jordan Jefferson went at No. 159, a good 27 picks before the board was ready.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at slot 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 60 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They reached into another round for Mason McCormick, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 23 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They did well to land Kitan Oladapo in the 162nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
A reach on Daijun Edwards in Round 6, Pick 13; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Nice patience on Cornelius Johnson, who had no business lasting to slot 203. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma in No. 248 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
