Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Jalen Coker a full 47 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

On value alone, Phillips makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They let Kris Jenkins come to them and pounced at No. 60. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Andru Phillips in Round 4, Pick 34, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Nice patience on Christian Jones, who had no business lasting to pick 144. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
No edge and no loss on Nelson Ceaser in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at the 163rd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Circle this one: Dwight McGlothern at No. 189 is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
Value said wait; Jalen Coker in slot 204 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They went early on Sam Hartman in the 248th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
