Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Jackson Hawes at pick No. 206 is 55 spots clear of where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Getting Starks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

With edge rusher and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach the 56th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 62 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jacob Parrish adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher and quarterback untouched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 132nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Rivers at pick No. 169. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 CJ West
A wild overpay on CJ West in slot 170, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
They paid sticker price for Jaydon Blue in the 173rd pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 177 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
A big swing on Jackson Hawes at pick 206, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
