Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Restrepo: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Xavier Restrepo slide 120 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will need Mondon Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 30 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 2, Pick 30 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
A reach on Sonny Styles in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 130th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick169 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
They will replay Xavier Restrepo at the 169th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 172. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at pick No. 175 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Kiser at slot 202 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
A reach for O'Donnell Fortune in pick No. 204; a little patience would have been rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
