Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Royals. Final grade: B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jalen Royals, the No. 64 name on the board, in the 108th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If Hassanein pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 56th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A premium they did not need to pay, Darien Porter a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at slot 108 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 5, Pick 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at pick 179 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A tidy little value on Hayden Conner in the 208th pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
