Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Smael Mondon Jr. had no business being available in the 206th pick, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 30th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A tidy little value on JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 56, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at slot 62 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 109 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick 132 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at Round 5, Pick 31. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Circle this one: Devin Neal at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Phillips at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 177th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 206 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
