Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 208: the Bills steal Pegues and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: JJ Pegues, slot 208, roughly 32 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in the 56th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They let Jalen Milroe come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 7. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 131 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald slipping to No. 171 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick175 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey slid further than he should have, and slot 175 is lovely value for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Good price on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 179, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at slot 206 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
