Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Hadden from sliding. Grade: C+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Kamal Hadden, the No. 167 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 198. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. If Bishop pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

So much rides on Adonai Mitchell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in the 60th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A conviction pick on Cole Bishop at the 99th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in No. 129 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Good price on Beau Brade in slot 143, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
The board had Jacob Cowing higher than Round 5, Pick 23, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick 162 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 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. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A clean, defensible pick in slot 202 with a little surplus value in Curtis Jacobs. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Fair-plus on Justin Rogers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trevin Wallace at pick No. 246 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
