Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
Booker should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a D-.

The Bills lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

Leaving linebacker 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. Landing Booker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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 Byron Murphy II
They did well to land Byron Murphy II in pick 28, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 44th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They jumped the gun on Bralen Trice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99 Rnd3 Austin Booker
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 99 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Fair-plus on Javon Baker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in No. 129. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good price on Jordan Travis in the 159th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and slot 162 is lovely value for the safety. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
