Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB+
The Bills lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Kedon Slovis at No. 106, roughly 33 spots before his name belonged. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That Muhammad pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at pick 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in slot 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at Round 4, Pick 6 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They read the board right and Junior Colson was the payoff at the 124th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A tidy little value on Jaylan Ford in pick No. 156, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 JT Daniels
A conviction pick on JT Daniels at No. 161 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Steve Linton
The board had Steve Linton higher than slot 197, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Phil Jurkovec
A real head-scratcher, Phil Jurkovec in the 201st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They let Michael Barrett come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 27. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
By-the-book stuff, Zakhari Franklin at the 208th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A slide stopped in pick 245, with Jabbar Muhammad worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
