Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a D-.

The Bills lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Taylor III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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 the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They jumped the gun on T'Vondre Sweat, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 60th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick No. 96 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They liked Leonard Taylor III enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 99. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malik Washington
By-the-book stuff, Malik Washington at the 113th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick 129 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They read the board right and Malik Mustapha was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick No. 162 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They let Javon Baker come to them and pounced at pick 198. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Barrett in the 206th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
