Draft Grade — Bills

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Nubin: B.

Somebody in slot 60 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Tyler Nubin, the No. 40 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen McMillan at pick 99, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
They read the board right and James Williams was the payoff at the 129th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 159, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A conviction pick on Layden Robinson at pick No. 162 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 198th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, M.J. Devonshire in No. 202, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick206 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
No drama and no debate, Gabe Hall went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 31. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
