Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jermaine Burton at the 99th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Capehart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach pick 60 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Circle this one: Jermaine Burton at pick 99 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 129th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at the 159th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They paid sticker price for LaDarius Henderson in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
No edge and no loss on Andrew Raym in Round 6, Pick 22; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 202 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in slot 206 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in No. 246 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
