Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B.

The Jawhar Jordan pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 64 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Landing Proctor that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They read the board right and Edgerrin Cooper was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 28. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in No. 99, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 129 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 159th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten is a better player than the 162nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A wild overpay on Jawhar Jordan in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in No. 202 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick206 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Fair-plus on Eric Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick 246 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
