Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick 206 on Hayden Conner, a name most had 61 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Emmanwori. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bills indulged a want in Hairston while a need in linebacker, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 30 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 24 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A want over a need in the 62nd overall pick: Maxwell Hairston adds a cornerback while linebacker, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They barely believed it either: Joshua Farmer still on the board at pick 132. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in pick No. 169; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 CJ West
A reach for CJ West in No. 170; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 173 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
A tidy little value on DJ Giddens in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
