Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The Bills did not so much draft Fadil Diggs as overpay for him, 60 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. It is not that Dotson is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in No. 30 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 62 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in Round 4, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Mello Dotson in the 132nd pick leaves linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 173 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fadil Diggs in the 177th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
