Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

Nobody had Simeon Barrow Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 46 spots to get him at the 177th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Landing Paul Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at No. 56 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 62 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach slot 109 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 30: Denzel Burke adds a cornerback while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
No edge and no loss on Jonah Monheim in slot 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
A tidy little value on Barryn Sorrell in pick No. 173, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
They talked themselves into Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 177th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
