Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bills let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

The Bills lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Jones pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots.

The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 28 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in No. 60. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slipping to pick No. 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 128th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Elijah Jones, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They paid sticker price for Trevor Keegan in slot 144, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
The board had Luke McCaffrey higher than the 160th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 27, with Jalyx Hunt worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
