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

When a board-topper like Pat Bryant slides to slot 173, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 62nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ashton Gillotte
A tidy bit of business in the 109th overall pick, where Ashton Gillotte graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Value with a capital V on Jeffrey Bassa in Round 4, Pick 30, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They read the board right and Tommi Hill was the payoff at slot 169. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Damien Martinez at pick 170. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They will replay Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 177th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Fair-plus on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
