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 the 249th overall pick. The Bills jumped the board by 26 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on James to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 28th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 60 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick128 Rnd4 DJ James
Nice patience on DJ James, who had no business lasting to the 128th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 162 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at No. 197 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Good price on JD Bertrand in Round 6, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Raym at the 206th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in slot 249, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
