Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Jones: C.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Sheridan Jones slide 29 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The cost of the Nugent reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 28 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They did well to land Adisa Isaac in pick No. 60, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 12: Ricky Pearsall for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A conviction pick on Tykee Smith at the 144th pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at slot 163 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drake Nugent this early at the 191st overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 200 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Myles Harden
A straight-up fair deal on Myles Harden at slot 204, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick No. 234 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Somehow Sheridan Jones was still sitting there in No. 248, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
