Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bills lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took DeWayne Carter a full 36 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Mondon Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brian Thomas Jr. this early at pick 50. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A big swing on Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 21, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Carson Beck
They let Carson Beck come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. is a better player than pick No. 100 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A tidy little value on Tory Horton in the 101st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
By-the-book stuff, Troy Fautanu at pick 118 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
A swing that ignored the value entirely, T.J. Sanders well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 135 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 153rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
They reached into another round for Jaden Hicks, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick191 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at Round 6, Pick 16 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Brandon Coleman
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Coleman at No. 196, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Nothing to complain about; Jahdae Barron went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick204 Rnd6 Carson Steele
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at slot 204, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
They read the board right and Zy Alexander was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 19. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
