Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in the Round 5 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 105 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Good price on Tyleik Williams in pick No. 61, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in No. 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in the 107th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
They robbed the room for Maxwell Hairston here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick169 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 169 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in pick 172 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at slot 204 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to the 206th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
