Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bills lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 206 on Kimani Vidal a full 34 spots early. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Legette at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick No. 28 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at Round 2, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 60th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Taking Xavier Legette in No. 99 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 113. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in the 129th pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in pick No. 143; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at Round 5, Pick 23 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marist Liufau at the 162nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in No. 206 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
