Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Vaki. Final grade: B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Sione Vaki, the No. 158 name on the board, in slot 189. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Boyd pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where T.J. Tampa graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 128, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 134th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roger Rosengarten in pick 144. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at slot 160. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 27 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
The board fumbled Sione Vaki all the way to the 189th pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Nice patience on Tahj Washington, who had no business lasting to No. 200. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slipping to the 204th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
No drama and no debate, Jalen Coker went about where he belonged in the 248th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
