Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Robbie Ouzts, 72 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Barton at that price is a win they earned. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 30 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Omarr Norman-Lott well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A premium they did not need to pay, Maxwell Hairston a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 108th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 R Mason Thomas
A wild overpay on R Mason Thomas in Round 4, Pick 30, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 175 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
By-the-book stuff, Quincy Riley at pick 179 squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick206 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They read the board right and KeAndre Lambert-Smith was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts in pick No. 208 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
