Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Jordan Jefferson. He came off 27 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A reach for Kamren Kinchens in No. 60; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick 99 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They let Javon Foster come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 29. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 159 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kitan Oladapo in the 162nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Gargiulo. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A conviction pick on Myles Cole at slot 206 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They paid a round early for Ryan Watts in No. 246, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
