Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bills won the night they stopped Polk from sliding. Grade: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The Jones pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, running back and other spots still on the board. The Polk pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 28 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac slid further than he should have, and No. 60 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in the 83rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Steal is underselling it; Calen Bullock at the 99th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Taking Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 100 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Christian Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Jones in pick No. 113, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, running back and other spots to take Jarrian Jones, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick159 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Justin Eboigbe at slot 159. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at No. 162 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
