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

Somebody in the 177th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Chimere Dike, the No. 105 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With linebacker, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 30th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Fair-plus on Alfred Collins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Azareye'h Thomas with linebacker, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick132 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
They will replay Xavier Restrepo at slot 132 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sai'vion Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sai'vion Jones at Round 5, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
The board fumbled Oluwafemi Oladejo all the way to pick 173, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
You do not let a wide receiver like Chimere Dike reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Logan Brown
They barely believed it either: Logan Brown still on the board at pick 206. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
