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

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 111 name on the board, in pick No. 132.

The Bills indulged a want in Alexander while a need in offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Nice patience on Kenneth Grant, who had no business lasting to the 30th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They read the board right and JT Tuimoloau was the payoff at slot 56. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 30, where Trey Amos graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Phillips at the 109th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Zy Alexander, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick132 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 132 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylen Reed at pick 206 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reach on Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
