Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, 43 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hill steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They did well to land Tre Harris in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in slot 62 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Value said wait; Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 109th pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 132 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 169th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They read the board right and Tommi Hill was the payoff at pick 170. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
No drama and no debate, JJ Pegues went about where he belonged in No. 173. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at slot 177 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A straight-up fair deal on R.J. Mickens at the 206th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
