Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Colby: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Connor Colby fell into No. 201.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Muasau left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Johnny Wilson
In the 26th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy little value on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 56, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Good price on Shemar Turner in No. 137, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They will replay Jordan Travis at the 156th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Nice patience on Sataoa Laumea, who had no business lasting to slot 157. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in pick No. 161. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick201 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They barely believed it either: Connor Colby still on the board at No. 201. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
A reach on Darius Muasau in Round 6, Pick 27; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Taking Jamari Thrash in the 208th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
They robbed the room for Duce Chestnut here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
