Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 173, a reach of 66 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 30 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick 62 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in slot 109 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cody Simon
No edge and no loss on Cody Simon in the 132nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at the 169th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 177. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
