Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Bills let Kamara fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

The phones were a trap the Bills kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They banked enough surplus on Kamara to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

If Bortolini pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In No. 32 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the 60th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 32 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 99 with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Circle this one: Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 162 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slid further than he should have, and the 165th pick is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the 197th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at Round 6, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Good price on Jordan Magee in pick 206, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
A straight-up fair deal on Kurtis Rourke at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
