Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 206, a good 118 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Melton to cover a lot of smaller sins. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the 28th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A tidy little value on Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton slipping to slot 99 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Somehow Mason McCormick was still sitting there in No. 129, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Max Melton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Max Melton in the 159th pick, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Nothing to complain about; Braelon Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A reach on Jaylen Harrell in No. 198; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at the 202nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at Round 7, Pick 26 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
