Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bills won the night they stopped Perkins Jr. from sliding. Grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Harold Perkins Jr. sat on the board until pick 206, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They will need Lee III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Bills paired the rookies with proven help, Chris Jones leading the way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 60 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 101st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 130 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 31; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach slot 172 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
They reached a country mile for Davison Igbinosun at No. 176, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick192 Rnd6 Will Lee III
A wild overpay on Will Lee III in the 192nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
They will replay Harold Perkins Jr. at pick No. 206 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
