Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Bills got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 132nd overall pick, a good 53 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Bills indulged a want in Thomas while a need in offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Nolen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 30 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in slot 46 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 47th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Azareye'h Thomas while clear needs at offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Jacob Parrish adds a cornerback while offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 4, Pick 30, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at slot 156 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tahj Brooks this early at pick No. 169. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They took Ryan Fitzgerald at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
