Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Bills bet big and early on Barryn Sorrell, 120 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Spears-Jennings. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 30 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
They talked themselves into Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 62nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at Round 4, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in No. 131. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They paid sticker price for Dorian Strong in the 171st overall pick, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick175 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson in the 175th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at pick 179 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Jackson this early at the 206th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
