Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jarrian Jones, the 202nd overall pick, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 28th pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Nothing to complain about; Cam Hart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in pick 129 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Kitan Oladapo. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Grayson Murphy at No. 162 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
The board had Jordan Jefferson higher than pick No. 198, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at slot 202 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A slide stopped in the 206th pick, with Tahj Washington worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the 222nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 26 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
