Draft Grade — Bills

The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bills spent Round 5, Pick 35 on Teddye Buchanan, a name the board had a full 79 spots lower. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Fortune steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 30 they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They paid a round early for Darien Porter in the 62nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in pick No. 109, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 132nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They jumped the gun on Jack Nelson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
A wild overpay on Teddye Buchanan in the 173rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Desmond Watson well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
