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

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jacob Parrish fell into the 169th overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Hawes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at the 30th overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 59th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They jumped the gun on Maxwell Hairston, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They will replay Tai Felton at pick 109 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 132 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Taking Jacob Parrish in slot 169 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 173 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
You do not let a quarterback like Tyler Shough reach the 177th overall pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They barely believed it either: DJ Giddens still on the board at slot 183. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Somehow Jaylen Reed was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at Round 6, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
