Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Hadden: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kamal Hadden, the No. 169 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 25.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in slot 60 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at the 128th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A straight-up fair deal on Mason McCormick at the 144th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at pick 160 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 27 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No edge and no loss on Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 196; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Somehow Kamal Hadden was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 204th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in pick 248 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
