Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The Bills looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 132 regardless, 51 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid up for Maxwell Hairston at slot 56 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Value said wait; Deone Walker in pick No. 62 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
No edge and no loss on Cam Skattebo in the 109th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
