Draft Grade — Bills

Grand theft in pick 198: the Bills steal Hadden and grade out a B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kamal Hadden, the No. 167 name on the board, in pick No. 198. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Mustapha left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 28th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick No. 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A straight-up fair deal on DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A tidy little value on McKinnley Jackson in slot 129, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A reach for Malik Mustapha in No. 143; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Tykee Smith for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They went early on Jalyx Hunt in pick 162, and the value did not follow. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 198th overall pick 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.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
A reach on Cedric Johnson in pick No. 202; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at slot 206 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in No. 246 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
