Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 51 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

On value alone, Hunter makes the weekend a net positive. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In No. 30 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A wild overpay on Darien Porter in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They went early on Jared Ivey in slot 62, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached into another round for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 132nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in Round 5, Pick 31, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in Round 5, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach on JJ Pegues in No. 173; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 177th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Nice patience on Jarquez Hunter, who had no business lasting to pick No. 206. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
