Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 56: the Bills steal Emmanwori and grade out a B.

Somebody in the 56th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Nick Emmanwori, the No. 20 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Amos has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Trey Amos
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 56 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A tidy little value on Darius Alexander in pick 97, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in No. 132 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in Round 5, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 170th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 James Burnip
A tidy bit of business in slot 173, where James Burnip graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in the 177th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 206, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
