Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bills.

Nobody had Keaton Bills this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 29 spots to get him at pick 204.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They took Adonai Mitchell at par in Round 2, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A reach on Bralen Trice in pick No. 60; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 65 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 DJ James
A tidy little value on DJ James in the 94th pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
They jumped the gun on Jacob Cowing, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
The board had cheaper options than Josh Proctor at slot 200, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
They reached a country mile for Keaton Bills at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A quiet steal in the 248th overall pick: Kimani Vidal for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
