Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
The Bills let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Elijah Jones, No. 248, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Eboigbe left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 28 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in the 79th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 133rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A reach for Javion Cohen in No. 159; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in slot 188 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
No drama and no debate, Daijun Edwards went about where he belonged in pick 199. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington slipping to pick No. 203 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 248th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
