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

The Kimani Vidal selection is the head-turner. The Bills reached 64 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cowing at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A conviction pick on Ruke Orhorhoro at the 60th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
The board had Mike Sainristil higher than slot 83, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Value with a capital V on Javon Baker in Round 3, Pick 36, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in pick 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason McCormick this early at pick 128. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A quiet steal in the 144th overall pick: Jarrian Jones for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick154 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They liked Marist Liufau enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 18. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in pick No. 160 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A reach for Khristian Boyd in slot 163; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in the 189th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
