Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Bills lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

The Bills clearly saw something nobody else did in Taulia Tagovailoa, taking him 88 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Put together, it is a D+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. That Taylor-Demerson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at Round 2, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They let Adonai Mitchell come to them and pounced at pick 39. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid a round early for Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 60, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
The board had Dadrion Taylor-Demerson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 101st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at slot 106, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in pick No. 128. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dwight McGlothern
They talked themselves into Dwight McGlothern at Round 4, Pick 34, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A straight-up fair deal on Mason McCormick at the 139th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 142 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Harris a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the 146th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty'Ron Hopper this early at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Value with a capital V on Brennan Jackson in slot 163, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid up for Khristian Boyd at the 166th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
By-the-book stuff, Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 182 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at No. 189 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick 204 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Nice patience on Dominique Hampton, who had no business lasting to the 248th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
