Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. McKinnley Jackson sat on the board until pick No. 198, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 60 with a little surplus value in Braden Fiske. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James slipping to the 99th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at No. 129 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyler Davis
They will replay Tyler Davis at the 159th pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Javon Foster
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at slot 198 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
You do not let a wide receiver like Luke McCaffrey reach pick 202 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in Round 6, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tanor Bortolini
Taking Tanor Bortolini in No. 246 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
