Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Norman-Lott should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Omarr Norman-Lott, the No. 71 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 132.

It is not that Porter is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Good price on Josaiah Stewart in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 63 with a little surplus value in Elic Ayomanor. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 109th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
They robbed the room for Omarr Norman-Lott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Darien Porter
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 31: Darien Porter adds a cornerback while offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
The board fumbled Jonas Sanker all the way to No. 166, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan James
Circle this one: Jordan James at slot 169 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jamaree Caldwell
They barely believed it either: Jamaree Caldwell still on the board at pick 170. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
Taking Denzel Burke in slot 173 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in No. 177 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
You do not let a linebacker like Jack Kiser reach pick No. 206 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at Round 7, Pick 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
