Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bills did exactly that with Jaylin Smith in the 208th pick.

The Tuten pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Royals at No. 62, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slid further than he should have, and pick 131 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 James Burnip
The board had James Burnip higher than slot 171, and the specialist fell to them anyway. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 179 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock slipping to the 206th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
A big swing on Jaylin Smith at pick No. 208, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
