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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 30 is 28 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Getting Burke where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They paid a round early for Darien Porter in pick 62, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 109th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 132nd overall pick on Denzel Burke, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
The board had Bhayshul Tuten higher than slot 169, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in slot 170 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach on JJ Pegues in No. 173; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
No drama and no debate, Jack Nelson went about where he belonged in pick 177. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A wild overpay on Isaac TeSlaa in the 206th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
