Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Colby: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Connor Colby got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at slot 230. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick 56 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 30, where Donovan Ezeiruaku graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Value with a capital V on Zy Alexander in the 111th pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick132 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 132nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Steal is underselling it; LeQuint Allen at pick No. 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommi Hill at slot 170 is the proof. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JJ Pegues. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Connor Colby
Taking Connor Colby in pick 230 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
