Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bills did exactly that with Kimani Vidal in the Round 6 slot.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thomas.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 43rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No drama and no debate, Zach Frazier went about where he belonged in No. 60. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Lynn Polk at Round 3, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A clean, defensible pick in pick 90 with a little surplus value in Calen Bullock. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
Fair-plus on McKinnley Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick No. 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in Round 5, Pick 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A conviction pick on Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 189 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in slot 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Curtis Jacobs in the 204th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
You do not let an offensive lineman like Nathan Thomas reach pick 248 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
