Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jha'Quan Jackson, pick 225, roughly 47 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Harrell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 60 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Nice patience on Matt Goncalves, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 28. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Brade
By-the-book stuff, Beau Brade at the 134th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They barely believed it either: Chau Smith-Wade still on the board at pick No. 144. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A slide stopped in the 160th pick, with Jacob Cowing worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A straight-up fair deal on Marist Liufau at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They robbed the room for Kamal Hadden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at No. 200 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in slot 204 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 7, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
You do not let an offensive lineman like Garret Greenfield reach pick 240 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
