Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Jones: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Sheridan Jones slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at pick No. 248. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Randolph Jr. left real value on the table behind him.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A tidy little value on Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 134th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
They let Jamari Thrash come to them and pounced at the 144th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kalen King
You do not let a cornerback like Kalen King reach slot 160 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They took Dillon Johnson at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Fair-plus on Tanor Bortolini, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They reached into another round for Keith Randolph Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
The board had cheaper options than JD Bertrand at slot 204, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Taking Sheridan Jones in pick 248 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
