Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bills won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 90 spots for Ethan Downs, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That Starks pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick64 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They will replay Benjamin Morrison at Round 2, Pick 32 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 129 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.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Nothing to complain about; Jeffrey Bassa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick No. 171 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Woody Marks
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Woody Marks. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
A real head-scratcher, Ethan Downs in pick No. 179 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 206 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
No drama and no debate, Jonas Sanker went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 30. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
