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

The Bills torched the value chart for Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him 53 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

However the rest shakes out, Simon at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at the 56th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in pick 62; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 109, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at No. 169 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Nelson at pick 177, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 206th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
