Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 2 slot lands the Bills a D-, Hampton and all.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.

The Bills indulged a want in Parrish while a need in offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. They will need Walker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Hampton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 56th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They went early on Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 25, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 62 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They jumped the gun on Darius Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots to take Jacob Parrish, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 132 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A conviction pick on Kyle Williams at slot 163 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 5, Pick 32 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
