Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Bryant from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Pat Bryant got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Broughton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Azareye'h Thomas
They talked themselves into Azareye'h Thomas at slot 30, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Restrepo at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in the 62nd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Vernon Broughton this early at pick 108. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at No. 131 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 5, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They took Jay Higgins at par in pick No. 175, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
A real head-scratcher, Alex Mastromanno in the 179th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick206 Rnd6 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at Round 6, Pick 28 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick208 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 208th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
