Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Walker: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jalon Walker, the No. 24 name on the board, stolen at the 56th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will need Stackhouse to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 30th pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in pick No. 62; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Billy Bowman Jr. at the 109th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hollin Pierce. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
No edge and no loss on DJ Giddens in slot 169; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Value said wait; Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in No. 173 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the 177th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
They reached a country mile for Desmond Watson at Round 6, Pick 30, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
