Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. R Mason Thomas went at No. 131, a good 70 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Barton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 30 they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Omarr Norman-Lott. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 62nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They talked themselves into O'Donnell Fortune at slot 108, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 R Mason Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: R Mason Thomas in the 131st overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
No drama and no debate, Dorian Strong went about where he belonged in No. 171. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick175 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They jumped the gun on JJ Pegues, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Lander Barton
They barely believed it either: Lander Barton still on the board at the 179th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They took Jordan Hancock at par in pick No. 206, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in pick 208 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
