Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bills.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for DeMonte Capehart. He came off 52 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Getting Phillips where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Value with a capital V on Terrion Arnold in slot 29, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Worthy at No. 61 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at Round 3, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in pick No. 131 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
A real head-scratcher, Josh Proctor in the 162nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Circle this one: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 166 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They robbed the room for Frank Gore Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in slot 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Somehow Andru Phillips was still sitting there in pick 207, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Steal is underselling it; Joshua Cephus at No. 250 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
