Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Bills lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

Some picks age like wine; George Holani at slot 248 will need to, sitting 65 spots clear of his grade.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach on T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 1; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They reached into another round for Kiran Amegadjie, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They did well to land Adisa Isaac in the 60th pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caelen Carson in No. 101. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 128th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick No. 134 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A reach for Sione Vaki in pick 142; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khristian Boyd. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
They liked Brennan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 146. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A real head-scratcher, Curtis Jacobs in Round 5, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Good price on Dylan Laube in the 163rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They talked themselves into Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A big swing on Garret Greenfield at No. 182, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gabe Hall well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at pick 200 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 George Holani
They left a pile of value on the table to take George Holani this early at Round 7, Pick 28. The roster fit checks out.
