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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent the 249th pick on Jordan Toles, a name most had 28 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Quinyon Mitchell went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 28. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 60 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
Good price on Jamari Thrash in pick 99, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A reach on Jaylan Ford in the 162nd pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
By-the-book stuff, De'Corian Clark at slot 197 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 202 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick 206 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Toles well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
