Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Bills let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jarrian Jones, the No. 149 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner is a better player than slot 28 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 99th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
They took Fabien Lovett at par in pick No. 143, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A clean, defensible pick in the 159th pick with a little surplus value in Malik Mustapha. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marist Liufau in pick 162. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They let Kendall Milton come to them and pounced at No. 198. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick206 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at Round 6, Pick 31. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in No. 246 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
