Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

Nobody else had J.Michael Sturdivant anywhere near No. 171. The Bills did, by 24 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Lawson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In pick 32 they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Aaron Graves
They talked themselves into Aaron Graves at the 64th pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at No. 96 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz in pick No. 132 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant at slot 171 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
