Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Neal fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Devin Neal, the No. 84 name on the board, in No. 202. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Hairston pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in Round 2, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach for Maxwell Hairston in No. 62; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in pick 107 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joshua Farmer at pick No. 130. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
They will replay Elijah Arroyo at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at slot 172 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in the 175th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the 202nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga in pick No. 204 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
