Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B-.

The Dont'e Thornton Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Bills reached 63 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They banked enough surplus on Burden III to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In No. 19 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 30 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at slot 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 4, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 132nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Upton Stout
They left a pile of value on the table to take Upton Stout this early at pick 148. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They reached a country mile for Quincy Riley at No. 153, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Fair-plus on Seth McLaughlin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at slot 173 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They paid sticker price for JJ Pegues in the 177th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 6, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Value said wait; Ethan Downs in the 240th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
