Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 54: the Bills steal Walker and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jalon Walker slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the Round 2 slot. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
The board had cheaper options than Maxwell Hairston at pick 62, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 4, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
A straight-up fair deal on Jonas Sanker at slot 132, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quincy Riley. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 170, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and KeAndre Lambert-Smith at No. 206 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
