Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Williams. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Savion Williams got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the 179th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Hancock reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Bills indulged a want in Fortune while a need in offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In pick 30 they get a lockdown presence outside, even if it was a touch early.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They liked Deone Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 24. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in pick No. 62 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 108th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They zigged when the board said zag, taking O'Donnell Fortune at cornerback with offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Hancock. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at No. 175 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 179 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick208 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A tidy bit of business in the 208th overall pick, where Roc Taylor graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
