Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 2, Pick 24: the Bills steal Emmanwori and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nick Emmanwori tumbling to the Bills in the 56th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at slot 56 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jack Bech
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Bech. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They paid sticker price for Jordan Phillips in the 109th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at No. 132 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
No edge and no loss on Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 33 with a little surplus value in Seth McLaughlin. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick 173 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They did well to land DJ Giddens in the 177th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at pick 206 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
