Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Emmanwori fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, stolen at the 56th overall pick.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The Riley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to Round 2, Pick 24, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Good price on Alfred Collins in pick No. 62, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
The board had Tai Felton higher than No. 109, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Nohl Williams. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Circle this one: Brashard Smith at the 169th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A premium they did not need to pay, Quincy Riley a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Williams at slot 173 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They read the board right and Seth McLaughlin was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 1. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Reed in the 206th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
