Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Parrish: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Jacob Parrish slide 59 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Hamilton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In pick No. 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Restrepo. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in No. 62 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 109th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 James Burnip
James Burnip at the 169th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls is a better player than pick 170 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at slot 173 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at No. 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick No. 206 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
