Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bills came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, quarterback and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
Good price on Laiatu Latu in pick No. 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 63 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 14 with a little surplus value in Calen Bullock. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot leaves linebacker, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in slot 119 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Adams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jarrian Jones. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick162 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Davis went about where he belonged in the 162nd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
