Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Starks from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malaki Starks fell into slot 56.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Hairston reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
They jumped the gun on Tyleik Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to pick 56, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They went early on Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 62, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 109 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Taking Xavier Restrepo in No. 132 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the 169th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A slide stopped in the 170th overall pick, with Andres Borregales worth more than the price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
By-the-book stuff, Jack Nelson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They paid sticker price for Jack Kiser in pick No. 177, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at No. 206 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
