Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nash should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nick Nash tumbling to the Bills in No. 170 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

It is not that Parrish is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at pick No. 30 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in pick 56. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at the 62nd pick, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Jaylin Noel graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jacob Parrish in the 132nd overall pick leaves offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 169 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Somehow Nick Nash was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They did well to land Jake Briningstool in No. 173, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in pick No. 177, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in No. 206 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
