Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Starks: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, in Round 2, Pick 24. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Hairston reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to Round 2, Pick 24, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 62nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in slot 109 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Steal is underselling it; Joshua Farmer at pick 132 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 169. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the 170th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick173 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
No drama and no debate, Willie Lampkin went about where he belonged in No. 173. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 177 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
