Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Porter. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Darien Porter tumbling to the Bills in Round 4, Pick 7 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Riley reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
You do not let a wide receiver like Emeka Egbuka reach the 58th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JT Tuimoloau at No. 62. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darien Porter
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick132 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
The board fumbled Xavier Restrepo all the way to the 132nd pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They liked Quincy Riley enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 169. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Value with a capital V on Kalel Mullings in pick 170, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at Round 5, Pick 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A slide stopped in pick 177, with Seth McLaughlin worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at Round 6, Pick 30 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
