Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Bills never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Newton. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Value with a capital V on Josh Newton in pick 50, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They did well to land Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Nothing to complain about; Junior Colson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 146th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
No drama and no debate, Malachi Moore went about where he belonged in slot 155. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
