Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Jermayne Lole a full 54 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Rosemy-Jacksaint to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In slot 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in the 99th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 128th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A straight-up fair deal on Kitan Oladapo at No. 165, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 22 is lovely value for the safety. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 202nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeremy James
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jeremy James this early at pick No. 206. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jermayne Lole
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jermayne Lole well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
