Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 56 lands the Bills a B, Emmanwori and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 20 name on the board, stolen at slot 56. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 56 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They did well to land Azareye'h Thomas in the 62nd pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in No. 109, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Value with a capital V on Emery Jones Jr. in slot 132, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
