Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bills got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Bills did not so much draft Desmond Watson as overpay for him, 66 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. With linebacker, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In slot 30 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos slid further than he should have, and the 56th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maxwell Hairston at cornerback with linebacker, safety and other spots open.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A reach for Darius Alexander in pick No. 80; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, safety and other spots to take Jacob Parrish, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 132nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at the 169th pick is money in the bank, a specialist taken below his worth. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
They talked themselves into Desmond Watson at No. 170, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 173rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Fair-plus on Tahj Brooks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
