Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Joshua Farmer, 51 picks ahead of schedule.

On value alone, Ayomanor makes the weekend a net positive. The Bills indulged a want in Burke while a need in linebacker, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 56th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Joshua Farmer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Farmer this early at the 62nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in No. 109 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Linebacker, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Denzel Burke did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Value with a capital V on Bhayshul Tuten in slot 169, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They took Jake Briningstool at par in pick 170, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach on JJ Pegues in pick No. 173; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt slid further than he should have, and the 177th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 206 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
