Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Hadden: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Kamal Hadden slide 32 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 28 they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Taking Keon Coleman in pick No. 60 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Fair-plus on Jamari Thrash, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Good price on Roger Rosengarten in No. 153, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in Round 5, Pick 23, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They did well to land Jordan Travis in pick 164, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
No edge and no loss on Steele Chambers in the 188th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slid further than he should have, and the 203rd overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
