Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 179th pick lands the Bills a B, Dotson and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Mello Dotson, the No. 140 name on the board, stolen at slot 179. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will need Nash to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking cornerback early while offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Value with a capital V on Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 30, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
The board had T.J. Sanders higher than Round 2, Pick 24, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in the 62nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Denzel Burke adds a cornerback while offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick 171 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Somehow Lander Barton was still sitting there in the 175th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
You do not let a cornerback like Mello Dotson reach slot 179 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
