Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Bills won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Marcus Dumervil, 125 picks early at the Round 6 slot. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Simon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Kennard this early at the 49th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at No. 56 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 108 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 118th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in the 131st pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick 175 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
They barely believed it either: Kalel Mullings still on the board at pick No. 179. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Marcus Dumervil
They talked themselves into Marcus Dumervil at Round 6, Pick 28, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 208 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
