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

When a board-topper like Ryan Fitzgerald slides to pick 202, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Broughton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 26 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They paid a round early for Darien Porter in the 62nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
They barely believed it either: Dylan Sampson still on the board at pick 107. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in slot 126, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
You do not let a wide receiver like Elic Ayomanor reach the 131st pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 165 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in No. 172, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 175 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
The board fumbled Ryan Fitzgerald all the way to pick No. 202, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick204 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in Round 7, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
