Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Hart: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Hart, the No. 172 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 21. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 18th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board had Jason Marshall Jr. higher than slot 118, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
A tidy bit of business in pick 146, where Cole Bishop graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at No. 155 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper slid further than he should have, and pick No. 162 is lovely value for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Steve Linton
They robbed the room for Steve Linton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Steal is underselling it; Cam Hart at the 196th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to pick 204 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
They jumped the gun on Zion Nelson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at pick No. 246 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
