Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The Bills bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 166 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Strong pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at No. 56 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick62 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
They liked Omarr Norman-Lott enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at slot 108, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 30, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
A safety of that caliber at the 171st pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A wild overpay on Phillip Webb in pick No. 175, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 179 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick 206 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Parrish at the 208th overall pick, and it noticed. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
