Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Isaac TeSlaa pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 101 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Emmanwori pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in slot 56 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chris Paul Jr.
Value said wait; Chris Paul Jr. in Round 2, Pick 30 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 109th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 169. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 170 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Cam Jackson in the 173rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
They reached a country mile for Fadil Diggs at the 177th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No drama and no debate, R.J. Mickens went about where he belonged in slot 206. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
