Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Jones should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Sheridan Jones tumbling to the Bills in slot 248 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Reaching for Gore Jr. left real value on the table behind him. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Braswell at the 60th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid a round early for Jarrian Jones in pick No. 128, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at No. 144 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at Round 5, Pick 24, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slid further than he should have, and pick 163 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Trente Jones
By-the-book stuff, Trente Jones at slot 189 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 200th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at pick No. 204. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They will replay Sheridan Jones at Round 7, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
