Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 56th pick lands the Bills a B-, Emmanwori and all.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, in slot 56. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Noel to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jaylin Noel
In the 30th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at slot 56 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick 62 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in Round 4, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They read the board right and Jeffrey Bassa was the payoff at No. 132. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They went early on Vernon Broughton in pick No. 169, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Andres Borregales graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the 173rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
A tidy little value on Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 177, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
A reach for Robert Longerbeam in pick 206; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
