Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Thieneman from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Dillon Thieneman, the No. 30 name on the board, sitting there at No. 64 like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Sturdivant proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Derrick Moore
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in Round 2, Pick 32 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick96 Rnd3 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell at pick 96 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Desmond Reid
A premium they did not need to pay, Desmond Reid a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
Value said wait; J.Michael Sturdivant in the 171st pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in pick No. 217 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 PJ Williams
They paid sticker price for PJ Williams in slot 222, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
The board fumbled TJ Metcalf all the way to No. 245, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
