Draft Grade — Bills

Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 29: the Bills steal Hart and grade out a B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Hart, the No. 137 name on the board, in the 165th pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will need Keegan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They went early on Brenden Rice in the 60th pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick128 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 128th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at No. 162 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Steal is underselling it; Nathan Thomas at pick No. 197 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Keegan well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 7, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
