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

You build a draft on nights like this. Malaki Starks had no business being available in the 56th overall pick, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Ingram-Dawkins reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 30th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 62 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A slide stopped in the 109th pick, with Tai Felton worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
They jumped the gun on Sai'vion Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They read the board right and Tommi Hill was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 31. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at No. 173 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They barely believed it either: Damien Martinez still on the board at No. 177. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick 206 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
