Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bills: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Matthew Jones at pick No. 202. The Bills jumped the board by 40 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

So much rides on Keon Coleman that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 28th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at pick No. 60 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in the 128th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in pick 165 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in No. 197 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in pick No. 202 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at No. 206 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A conviction pick on Dwight McGlothern at slot 249 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
