Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Taulia Tagovailoa a full 41 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in the 60th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Good price on Josh Newton in pick 128, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick134 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 160th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sione Vaki in the 163rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A big swing on Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 248, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
