Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Walker should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jalon Walker, the No. 23 name on the board, stolen at the 62nd overall pick.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bills indulged a want in Strong while a need in offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 30th pick they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to pick No. 56, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 62 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Dorian Strong while clear needs at offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick169 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick 169 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A premium they did not need to pay, JJ Pegues a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Pat Bryant at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 6, Pick 1 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Good price on Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 206, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
