FutureB-
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B. The Bills went off the board in a big way for Ethan Downs, 66 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Thomas is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first.
The Emmanwori pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick 56 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
A want over a need in the 62nd overall pick: Azareye'h Thomas adds a cornerback while offensive lineman and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick77
Rnd3
Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A wild overpay on Cody Simon in the 109th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at Round 4, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
They paid a round early for Vernon Broughton in Round 5, Pick 31, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Dont'e Thornton Jr. a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jalen McLeod
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen McLeod. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A conviction pick on Oronde Gadsden II at the 177th pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in slot 206 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
