Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureD+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bills: C.

The Myles Cole pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 45 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

If Troy Franklin and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 28 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the 30th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in No. 60 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the 99th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in pick No. 128 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in Round 5, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A conviction pick on Gabe Hall at the 197th pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
A swing that ignored the value entirely, David Ugwoegbu well ahead of where he belonged. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in Round 6, Pick 31 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick211 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They reached into another round for Myles Cole, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They paid up for Donovan Jennings at the 237th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Demorie Tate
A reach for Demorie Tate in pick 249; a little patience would have been rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
