Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Nobody had Kimani Vidal this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 53 spots to get him at pick 200. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Franklin at No. 35, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 44th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Taking Payton Wilson in the 77th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They paid sticker price for Jonah Elliss in pick No. 82, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A tidy little value on Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They read the board right and Jacob Cowing was the payoff at the 160th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 27 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in pick 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
