Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Walker: B.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Jalon Walker, the No. 23 name on the board, sitting there at No. 56 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Pegues pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 24 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Nice patience on Donovan Ezeiruaku, who had no business lasting to pick 62. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 109 with a little surplus value in Xavier Restrepo. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Fair-plus on Nohl Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They went early on JJ Pegues in slot 169, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Ben Sauls for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick173 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quincy Riley. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
No drama and no debate, Jack Kiser went about where he belonged in slot 177. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga in the 206th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
