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

The Bills' one glaring miss is interior defensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Landing Eboigbe that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in Round 2, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Johnny Wilson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton is a better player than the 134th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They let Mason McCormick come to them and pounced at No. 160. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe slipping to pick No. 163 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Dixon at pick 189, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at No. 200 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Steele Chambers in pick No. 204. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They jumped the gun on Matthew Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
