Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Nobody had Shaun Dolac this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 163 spots to get him at the 177th pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Sanker at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 30 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kevin Winston Jr. at the 109th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 132, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They robbed the room for Mello Dotson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Batty well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Circle this one: Jonas Sanker at pick No. 173 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at slot 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in No. 206 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
