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

When a board-topper like Kamal Hadden slides to pick No. 162, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

Capehart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 28th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at No. 60, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the 99th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
They took Isaiah Adams at par in the 128th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 162 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick165 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick No. 165 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Nothing to complain about; Andrew Raym went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kimani Vidal at No. 206. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
