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

Call it larceny. Malaki Starks sat on the board until No. 56, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Baron pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 24 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A clean, defensible pick in the 62nd pick with a little surplus value in Alfred Collins. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton slipping to the 109th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Baron this early at No. 132. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in pick No. 169 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Williams at slot 170 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid a round early for Jack Kiser in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 177 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
They reached a country mile for Jermari Harris at pick 206, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
