Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Bills this weekend: D-.

The phones were a trap the Bills kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Thomas that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The Josh Johnson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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 Troy Franklin
In No. 28 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the 60th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Value with a capital V on Malik Washington in the 129th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at slot 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Lee
Nothing to complain about; Logan Lee went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in the 162nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
A slide stopped in slot 197, with Nathan Thomas worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They took Rasheen Ali at par in the 206th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
