Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B.

The Bills did not so much draft Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins as overpay for him, 222 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Mondon Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 30 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at No. 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 62nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hollin Pierce. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at Round 4, Pick 30. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick 170 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 173rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at slot 177 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
