Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

The Bills bet big and early on Vernon Broughton, 54 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Getting Brown where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They jumped the gun on Maxwell Hairston, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 109 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick No. 132 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They robbed the room for Logan Brown here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They read the board right and Damien Martinez was the payoff at No. 170. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A conviction pick on JJ Pegues at the 173rd pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at Round 6, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
