Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bills: C+.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Warren Brinson, 245 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at slot 56 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 62 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in the 131st pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Shemar James
A real head-scratcher, Shemar James in the 171st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylin Smith
They reached a country mile for Jaylin Smith at slot 175, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 179 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at Round 6, Pick 28 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They talked themselves into Seth McLaughlin at No. 208, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
