Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Starks: B.

Call it larceny. Malaki Starks sat on the board until the Round 2 slot, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Bills indulged a want in Williams while a need in edge rusher and quarterback stayed open. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 30 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 56 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 62nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A reach on Jacob Parrish in the 109th pick; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Nohl Williams adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher and quarterback untouched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten slid further than he should have, and pick 169 is lovely value for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at slot 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Fair-plus on Jake Briningstool, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 177th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at pick No. 206 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
