Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bills looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Sione Vaki at No. 134 regardless, 24 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 28th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
They talked themselves into Sione Vaki at pick 134, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King at the 144th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Layden Robinson at slot 160, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A big swing on Jordan Jefferson at slot 163, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They liked Jared Wiley enough to skip the value, taking him in the 189th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in No. 200 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 204 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at Round 7, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
