Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick 206 on Cam Jackson, a name most had 26 spots down the list. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 56th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They did well to land TreVeyon Henderson in the 62nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 109 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Nohl Williams adds a cornerback and leaves offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick No. 169 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid a round early for Jack Kiser in slot 170, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 173 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
