Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Javon Foster got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Ali proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 28th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 27, where Cole Bishop graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in the 133rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick No. 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A tidy little value on Xavier Thomas in pick 159, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in No. 188 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 199th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A big swing on Rasheen Ali at slot 203, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trevin Wallace at the Round 7 slot is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
