Draft Grade — Bills
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Jackson: F.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
They paid a round early for Jaden Hicks in slot 60, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at the 71st pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
You do not let a cornerback like Khyree Jackson reach pick 99 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 113th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in No. 129; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
They liked Walter Rouse enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 159. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Jarrian Jones for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
The board had cheaper options than Gabe Hall at pick 198, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joe Milton III at the 206th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
