Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. Ahmed Hassanein went at the Round 5 slot, a good 67 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Grant steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 56th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 62 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 109 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They paid sticker price for Hollin Pierce in pick No. 132, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 169th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at the 170th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac TeSlaa this early at pick No. 177. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at Round 6, Pick 30 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
