Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. McKinnley Jackson had no business being available in No. 159, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Ulofoshio reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 28 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 107 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Steal is underselling it; Ray Davis at Round 4, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Good price on Cedric Gray in the 133rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Tyrone Tracy Jr. reach slot 143 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, McKinnley Jackson in the 159th overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Nothing to complain about; Mason McCormick went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at slot 176, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick185 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 185, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A reach on Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
A reach for Emani Bailey in Round 6, Pick 24; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached into another round for Edefuan Ulofoshio, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
