Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Grant: B+.

The Bills ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

However the rest shakes out, Grant at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at No. 41 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board fumbled Kenneth Grant all the way to the 49th overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at pick 56 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 62nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Good price on Jared Wilson in pick No. 109, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 132 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They read the board right and Tommi Hill was the payoff at pick 169. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick173 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in Round 5, Pick 35 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 177, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They paid sticker price for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 193rd pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at the 206th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
