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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: DeMonte Capehart, 73 picks early at the 202nd pick.

Getting Melton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and quarterback.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In pick 28 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They paid a round early for Brenden Rice in Round 2, Pick 28, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With edge rusher and quarterback still to address, they spent pick No. 99 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick128 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They will replay Matt Goncalves at the 128th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A tidy little value on Braelon Allen in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 165 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
By-the-book stuff, Austin Stogner at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the 202nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They barely believed it either: Michael Barrett still on the board at pick 206. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith in No. 249 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
