Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Simpson: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Jaylin Simpson slide 18 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 28: Calen Bullock for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at the 99th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A reach for Jordan Jefferson in pick 162; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach the 165th pick and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick197 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on De'Corian Clark. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at slot 202 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A tidy little value on Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 206, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis slid further than he should have, and the 249th pick is lovely value for the quarterback. It fills a real need, too.
