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

The DeVere Levelston pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 117 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jackson. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 28. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
You do not let a cornerback like Khyree Jackson reach the 128th overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Circle this one: Matt Goncalves at pick 134 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 144, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to No. 160. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the 163rd overall pick is lovely value for the safety. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 189 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick200 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They went early on Evan Williams in pick 200, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Gore Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 DeVere Levelston
They talked themselves into DeVere Levelston at the 248th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
