Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Bills this weekend: B.

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 109 on Jackson Slater a full 43 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 55 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
No edge and no loss on Maxwell Hairston in the 56th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 62nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ashton Gillotte in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Zy Alexander in Round 3, Pick 12 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick87 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Carson Schwesinger at No. 87 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Farmer. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 97th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They talked themselves into Jackson Slater at pick No. 109, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Terrance Ferguson at pick 125. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane at slot 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Value with a capital V on DJ Giddens in the 187th pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
