Draft Grade — Bills

Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Hadden: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kamal Hadden at the 189th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The McGregor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at slot 60 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board had Javon Foster higher than Round 4, Pick 28, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Johnny Wilson in pick No. 134. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick 144 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A reach for Braiden McGregor in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in the 163rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to No. 189, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
They barely believed it either: Ro Torrence still on the board at the 200th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in slot 204 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Raym at pick No. 248. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
