Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

Nobody else had Ethan Downs anywhere near No. 206. The Bills did, by 71 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Cornelius. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 30 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 56, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in No. 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Value said wait; Dorian Strong in Round 4, Pick 30 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 171st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at No. 175, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They read the board right and Damien Martinez was the payoff at the 179th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ethan Downs in slot 206, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
