Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Coleman from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Keon Coleman slide 63 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in slot 60 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 99 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Value with a capital V on Renardo Green in the 129th pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A tidy little value on Malik Mustapha in the 159th overall pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in No. 162 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Rogers. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They let Kendall Milton come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 27. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at the 206th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick246 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They barely believed it either: Michael Barrett still on the board at Round 7, Pick 26. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
