Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bills this weekend: B+.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. DeMonte Capehart went at slot 246, a good 52 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Sainristil pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on S-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at the 34th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in pick 60, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Of all the spots to shop, they chose S-EDGE. Jalyx Hunt in pick No. 129 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick159 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
A conviction pick on Cody Schrader at slot 162 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 197th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They paid up for Jaylen Harrell at Round 6, Pick 27 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in No. 206 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
