Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

The Javon Baker pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 57 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

That Hadden pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 28 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the 60th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They paid a round early for Jaden Hicks in slot 99, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javon Baker
A big swing on Javon Baker at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at Round 5, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson in the 162nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in the 198th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They left a pile of value on the table to take Omar Speights this early at No. 202. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A reach for Gabe Hall in Round 6, Pick 31; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They went early on Garret Greenfield in slot 246, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
