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

Nobody had Dont'e Thornton Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 51 spots to get him at the Round 4 slot.

However the rest shakes out, Emmanwori at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 30 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach on Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 62; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Phillips at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 4, Pick 30 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
A slide stopped in No. 169, with Kalel Mullings worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at slot 170 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
No drama and no debate, Jack Kiser went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at the 206th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
