Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Maxwell Hairston at pick 30. The Bills jumped the board by 42 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Landing Emmanwori that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Maxwell Hairston
In slot 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, a steep price for the projection.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 62nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
No drama and no debate, Joshua Farmer went about where he belonged in pick 109. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 132 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They took Jake Briningstool at par in No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jack Nelson a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach on JJ Pegues in slot 173; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 177 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac TeSlaa this early at pick No. 206. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
