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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Kimani Vidal. He came off 45 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Ceaser falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in the 44th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
The board had Jaden Hicks higher than the Round 3 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at pick No. 104 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 111th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A reach for Christian Jones in the 127th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to slot 159 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
They barely believed it either: Nelson Ceaser still on the board at the 162nd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at No. 195, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
