Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureD
The Bills landed square in the muddy middle: C.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Antwaun Powell-Ryland; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 53 spots ahead at the 108th pick. Call it a C and check back in two years.

They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Hit on Kenneth Grant and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than pick No. 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 56 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 2, Pick 30 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter slid further than he should have, and No. 90 is lovely value for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 100th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 131 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Taking Tyler Shough in the 171st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 36, with Raheim Sanders worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 CJ West
A big swing on CJ West at slot 179, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cobee Bryant in pick 192. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick203 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
A premium they did not need to pay, Alex Mastromanno a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Parrish at the 208th pick, and it noticed. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
