Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
Jackson should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Donovan Jackson sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 30, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 31 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to No. 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick No. 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at the 95th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Steal is underselling it; Carson Schwesinger at Round 4, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
The board fumbled Donovan Jackson all the way to the 131st overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
A tidy bit of business in pick 171, where RJ Harvey graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Kurtis Rourke in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zeek Biggers. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 John Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, John Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick 256 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
