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

The war room fell hard for Kimani Vidal, and it showed at pick 189: 63 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick No. 33 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in No. 44 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 99th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 7 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Value said wait; Jarrian Jones in pick 112 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A real head-scratcher, Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They paid up for Tykee Smith at the 144th pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A reach on Marist Liufau in pick No. 154; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at slot 160 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kimani Vidal this early at the 189th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
