Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 56 spots for Fabien Lovett, and value like that does not grow back.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Landing Hadden that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Bills clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jermaine Burton
In the 30th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A straight-up fair deal on Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in slot 93 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fabien Lovett in the 128th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick No. 134 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick 144 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
You do not let a wide receiver like Anthony Gould reach pick No. 160 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Trente Jones
The board had cheaper options than Trente Jones at Round 6, Pick 3, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tykee Smith in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in No. 200 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
