Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bills: C+.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. Keaten Wade went at the Round 5 slot, a good 103 picks before the board was ready. The final tally is a middling C+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Capehart at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Nothing to complain about; Sonny Styles went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zachariah Branch well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bishop Fitzgerald
A reach for Bishop Fitzgerald in slot 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
A big swing on Patrick Payton at pick No. 126, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at the 130th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DeMonte Capehart in pick 146. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A conviction pick on Rayshaun Benny at pick No. 166 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Keaten Wade
They reached a country mile for Keaten Wade at the 176th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
No edge and no loss on Riley Mahlman in No. 220; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at the 228th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
