Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bills got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Kimani Vidal, 49 picks ahead of schedule. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Bishop value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 28th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at No. 60 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 128th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 144 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slipping to the 160th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
The board had Justin Eboigbe higher than slot 163, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 189th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
