Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Gore Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Frank Gore Jr. had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Toles has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 60 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at No. 99 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 128th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at slot 162 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trey Knox
A conviction pick on Trey Knox at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the 197th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Somehow Frank Gore Jr. was still sitting there in pick 202, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at pick 206 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
They talked themselves into Jordan Toles at the 249th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
