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

The David Walker pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 43 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with linebacker, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maxwell Hairston adds a cornerback and leaves linebacker, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick65 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at pick No. 65 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Good price on Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 24, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at No. 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A reach on Clay Webb in pick 177; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 203rd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in slot 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
They reached a country mile for Thomas Fidone II at pick No. 219, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
