Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Emmanwori: B.

Somebody in the 56th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Watson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 30 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 24 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos is a better player than No. 63 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in slot 109 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
A real head-scratcher, Bhayshul Tuten in pick 132 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 169th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 CJ West
They paid a round early for CJ West in the 170th pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
A tidy little value on Ajani Cornelius in the 177th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at slot 198 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A straight-up fair deal on R.J. Mickens at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
