Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: DeMonte Capehart in pick 206, a good 69 spots before the room expected him.

Cohen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker and tight end. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 28th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 99th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With linebacker and tight end still to address, they spent pick No. 128 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Fair-plus on Braelon Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Steal is underselling it; Luke McCaffrey at slot 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 202nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at the 206th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes at Round 7, Pick 29 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
