Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills let Harden fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Myles Harden had no business being available in the 248th pick, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 29 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 37, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 128th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They read the board right and Josh Newton was the payoff at pick 134. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in pick No. 160: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to the 163rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at Round 7, Pick 28 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick253 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Nice patience on KT Leveston, who had no business lasting to slot 253. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Bub Means
A tidy bit of business in the 254th overall pick, where Bub Means graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
