Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 142, a reach of 31 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They banked enough surplus on Turner to cover a lot of smaller sins. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 22nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
By-the-book stuff, Benjamin Morrison at the 45th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 142, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Somehow Shemar Turner was still sitting there in pick 147, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
A market-rate specialist, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alex Mastromanno. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
