Draft Grade — Bills
Overall F
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD
A weekend the Bills spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jestin Jacobs at the Round 5 slot, a reach of 39 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It bottoms out at a F.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Davis at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 17th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In slot 27 they get a true top target, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 2, Pick 18 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 69 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tory Horton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tory Horton in No. 99. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Taking Tyler Davis in pick No. 117 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
They talked themselves into T.J. Sanders at pick 118, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jestin Jacobs
A real head-scratcher, Jestin Jacobs in the 155th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
They went early on Jaden Hicks in pick No. 164, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Landon Jackson in the 183rd pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
No edge and no loss on Miles Frazier in slot 191; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Cowing at Round 6, Pick 21 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Carson Steele
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Steele this early at No. 204. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They paid sticker price for Hayden Hatten in the 239th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
