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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Will Sheppard at the Round 5 slot, a reach of 66 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Savaiinaea. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 26th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
They went early on Xavier Nwankpa in the 57th pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 63. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jonah Savaiinaea
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Savaiinaea reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Shavon Revel Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 113. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A quiet steal in No. 128: Andrew Mukuba for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Nic Anderson
A premium they did not need to pay, Nic Anderson a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Will Sheppard
They talked themselves into Will Sheppard at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
A tidy bit of business in pick 179, where Oscar Delp graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
They read the board right and Gentry Williams was the payoff at slot 200. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
