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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tez Johnson, slot 131, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged.

With offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Pegues reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in the 56th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Good price on Alfred Collins in pick No. 62, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Denzel Burke while clear needs at offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Nash in slot 171. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 36 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
The board had cheaper options than JJ Pegues at pick 179, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 206 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
The board had Luke Elzinga higher than the 208th pick, and the specialist fell to them anyway. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
