Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Newton: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Josh Newton got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 144.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 25 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 144th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
The board had Nehemiah Pritchett higher than the 160th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Good price on Cornelius Johnson in slot 189, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick 200 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones slid further than he should have, and pick No. 204 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They took Jaylen Harrell at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominique Hampton at the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
