Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Tuten: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bhayshul Tuten slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Hairston pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
The board had cheaper options than Maxwell Hairston at slot 56, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They did well to land Alfred Collins in pick 62, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
The board had Jaylin Noel higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kobe King
No edge and no loss on Kobe King in pick No. 131; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at No. 171 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They read the board right and Jake Briningstool was the payoff at the 175th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A reach for Joshua Gray in the 179th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
