Draft Grade — Bills

The Bills let Bowman Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Billy Bowman Jr. got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at No. 175.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Tuimoloau reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

So much rides on Nick Emmanwori that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick 40 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Nothing to complain about; Elic Ayomanor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 97 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They paid sticker price for Jordan Phillips in slot 108, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the 131st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They read the board right and Raheim Sanders was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in slot 175 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick No. 179 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They let Roc Taylor come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They will replay Chase Lundt at pick 208 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
