Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Leonard. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Riley Leonard at pick No. 206 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will need Walker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 56 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 62 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 4, Pick 7 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nick Nash
The board had cheaper options than Nick Nash at the 132nd pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kobe King
Circle this one: Kobe King at the 169th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They liked JJ Pegues enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A conviction pick on Vernon Broughton at No. 173 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
The board fumbled Riley Leonard all the way to the 206th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
