Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Kyle Williams a full 39 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Tuten at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A real head-scratcher, Darien Porter in pick No. 56 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darius Alexander
A big swing on Darius Alexander at Round 2, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Value with a capital V on Bhayshul Tuten in No. 169, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Tommi Hill graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 35 with a little surplus value in Chase Lundt. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ben Sauls
A quiet steal in the 177th pick: Ben Sauls for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
