Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Gabriel should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dillon Gabriel slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery.

They will need Walker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 56 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Good price on Azareye'h Thomas in the 62nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kobe King
The board had cheaper options than Kobe King at slot 109, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at No. 132 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at the 170th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at pick 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
They robbed the room for Dillon Gabriel here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
