Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Bullard: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Javon Bullard slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the 99th pick. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The cost of the Coker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A slide stopped in slot 60, with Payton Wilson worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 99th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A tidy bit of business in the 129th overall pick, where Tyler Davis graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith slid further than he should have, and No. 143 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Thomas in pick 159. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in pick No. 162, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy little value on Tahj Washington in Round 6, Pick 23, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A clean, defensible pick in slot 202 with a little surplus value in Joe Milton III. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Jones in the 206th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They liked Jalen Coker enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 26. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
