Draft Grade — Bills

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Gadsden II. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Oronde Gadsden II slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the 204th pick. Highway robbery.

It is not that Fortune is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Marshall Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in Round 1, Pick 30, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at pick No. 56 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Phillips at the 109th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
A want over a need in No. 132: O'Donnell Fortune adds a cornerback while linebacker, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid a round early for Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 169, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 177th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 204 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A clean, defensible pick in pick 206 with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
