Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Ty Robinson a full 61 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. 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 pick they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Azareye'h Thomas. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at Round 4, Pick 7, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in No. 132 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Damien Martinez at pick No. 169. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nazir Stackhouse this early at pick 170. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
The board had cheaper options than Jack Nelson at Round 5, Pick 35, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in No. 206 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
