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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Danny Stutsman, the Round 5 slot, roughly 81 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Uiagalelei reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in slot 56, and they pounced on premier safety value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 108, where Tez Johnson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 131st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 171 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
A big swing on Theo Wease Jr. at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
They let Luke Elzinga come to them and pounced at the 206th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick208 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
