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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaylin Noel, slot 169, roughly 73 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the Diggs reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. It is not that Parrish is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 30 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
The board had cheaper options than Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 62, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at the 109th pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A surprising call. With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 132nd overall pick on Jacob Parrish, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Somehow Jaylin Noel was still sitting there in pick 169, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
A wild overpay on Fadil Diggs in Round 5, Pick 32, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 173 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They robbed the room for Jay Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
