Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Devin Neal had no business being available in pick 169, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Turner lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 30 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 56 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 30, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar Turner this early at the 107th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 130th pick with a little surplus value in Emery Jones Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 172 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at No. 175. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
They paid sticker price for Jonas Sanker in Round 6, Pick 29, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
