Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 175 lands the Bills a B, Sampson and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dylan Sampson got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the 175th overall pick.

The Parrish pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to Round 2, Pick 30, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid up for Maxwell Hairston at the 64th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 96th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at pick No. 108 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in No. 131 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 171 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
They barely believed it either: Dylan Sampson still on the board at pick 175. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in Round 6, Pick 1 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick206 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 206 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 James Burnip
James Burnip in slot 208 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
