Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Winston Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Kevin Winston Jr. slide 71 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to Round 2, Pick 24, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 62 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darien Porter
They barely believed it either: Darien Porter still on the board at the 109th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick 132 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Taking Joshua Farmer in the 169th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
They will replay Denzel Burke at slot 173 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick177 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
They robbed the room for Terrance Ferguson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 206 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
