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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Mello Dotson, slot 175, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at No. 56 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Value with a capital V on Marcus Mbow in slot 62, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
A tidy bit of business in pick 108, where Jermari Harris graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to Round 4, Pick 30, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Somehow Lander Barton was still sitting there in the 171st overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Taking Mello Dotson in the 175th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick No. 179 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Steal is underselling it; DJ Giddens at the 206th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Nice patience on KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who had no business lasting to slot 208. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
