Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Kimani Vidal, 53 picks ahead of schedule.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Thomas Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. slipping to No. 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A conviction pick on Braden Fiske at the 44th pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in Round 2, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brenden Rice at pick No. 104. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A reach on Mason McCormick in pick 134; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at slot 160 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
They took Walter Rouse at par in No. 163, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at pick 189, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kimani Vidal in the 200th pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
