Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Bills let Starks fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bills fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They banked enough surplus on Starks to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Hairston to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 40 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 19 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid a round early for Maxwell Hairston in the 60th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slipping to the 109th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A straight-up fair deal on Ajani Cornelius at No. 169, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
No drama and no debate, Chase Lundt went about where he belonged in slot 170. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
No edge and no loss on Raheim Sanders in the 177th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 30 with a little surplus value in Jason Marshall Jr.. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
