Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Rice: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Brenden Rice had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 27, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Trice lower, and that gap is the story.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Nothing to complain about; Zach Frazier went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in pick No. 71 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick 133 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the 160th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brenden Rice
You do not let a wide receiver like Brenden Rice reach Round 5, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at the 200th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They paid sticker price for Kimani Vidal in the 204th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trente Jones
No drama and no debate, Trente Jones went about where he belonged in pick 248. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
