Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 163 spots for Tyler Batty, and value like that does not grow back.

The Henderson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in slot 59, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61 Rnd2 Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 118 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Hancock a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick137 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in Round 4, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick177 Rnd6 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at Round 6, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Steven Parker
A real head-scratcher, Steven Parker in slot 205 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in No. 207 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
