Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Shough: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tyler Shough fell into slot 206. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Thornton Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking cornerback early while linebacker, safety and other spots went begging.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 30th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid a round early for Maxwell Hairston in the 56th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A reach on Darius Alexander in pick No. 111; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A surprising call. With linebacker, safety and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 20 on Jacob Parrish, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 132, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 James Burnip
Value with a capital V on James Burnip in pick 169, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A tidy little value on Willie Lampkin in No. 173, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens slipping to slot 177 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
The board fumbled Tyler Shough all the way to the 206th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Jason Marshall Jr. reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
