Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureC
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B.

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 25 on Kimani Vidal a full 53 spots early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Goncalves.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at Round 1, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick46 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
The board had Xavier Legette higher than pick No. 46, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in pick 65, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They let Matt Goncalves come to them and pounced at No. 128. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Good price on Sione Vaki in slot 163, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid a round early for Khristian Boyd in the 166th pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A real head-scratcher, Kimani Vidal in Round 6, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
