Draft Grade — Bills

Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 32: the Bills steal Bowman Jr. and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Billy Bowman Jr. got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the 171st pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Nash reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It is not that Burke is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 30th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Zy Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Denzel Burke while clear needs at offensive lineman and quarterback sat open.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 131st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 171 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Steal is underselling it; Lander Barton at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 179 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slipping to pick 206 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
A reach on Trevor Etienne in pick No. 208; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
