Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
Hadden should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Kamal Hadden slides to slot 200, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley slid further than he should have, and pick 60 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They did well to land Brenden Rice in slot 128, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They let Jarrian Jones come to them and pounced at the 133rd pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Value with a capital V on Malik Mustapha in No. 144, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Nice patience on Anthony Gould, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 24. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 163rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sione Vaki in pick No. 204, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bub Means
Somehow Bub Means was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
