Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: DeMonte Capehart, 52 picks early at pick No. 246.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and tight end.

Getting Jenkins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A slide stopped in the 60th overall pick, with Kris Jenkins worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 162 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 22. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
A tidy bit of business in No. 202, where Daijahn Anthony graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick206 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at pick No. 206 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 246th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
