Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The DeMonte Capehart pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 69 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 28th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 60 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Nice patience on Kris Abrams-Draine, who had no business lasting to pick 128. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They barely believed it either: Tommy Eichenberg still on the board at the 165th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Proctor in the Round 6 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Good price on Rasheen Ali in No. 202, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 6, Pick 31 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 McKade Mettauer
McKade Mettauer at pick No. 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
