Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Bills got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Kimani Vidal; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at No. 209. Put together, it is a D-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 32 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
The board had cheaper options than Braden Fiske at Round 2, Pick 12, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at the 60th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker is a better player than pick 99 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 112th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They jumped the gun on Jarrian Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 144th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
They paid a round early for Grayson Murphy in Round 5, Pick 24, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at pick 163 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in pick No. 209, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A conviction pick on Sam Hartman at slot 248 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
