Draft Grade — Bills
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Bills won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Jordan Whittington at No. 207 is 70 spots clear of where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On value alone, Gentry makes the weekend a net positive.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in No. 99, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 129th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 156 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A clean, defensible pick in the 166th pick with a little surplus value in LaDarius Henderson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at pick 200 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in slot 207 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
They reached into another round for Jabbar Muhammad, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A tidy bit of business in pick 250, where Eric Gentry graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
