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

There is reaching, and then there is DeMonte Capehart at slot 246. The Bills jumped the board by 78 and dared it to prove them wrong. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The McCormick pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while edge rusher and quarterback went begging.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Quinyon Mitchell in pick 28, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
The board had Jermaine Burton higher than pick No. 60, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 36 on Javon Solomon with edge rusher and quarterback unsolved.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They barely believed it either: Mason McCormick still on the board at slot 129. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 162 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 198th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They talked themselves into Omar Speights at No. 202, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They took AJ Barner at par in Round 6, Pick 31, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
