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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Nazir Stackhouse. He came off 38 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Burden III. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
The board fumbled Luther Burden III all the way to pick No. 56, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 62 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 4, Pick 30 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 169th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at the 170th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Good price on Chase Lundt in Round 5, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 177 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A real head-scratcher, Desmond Watson in pick 206 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
