Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, in the 99th pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 28 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick No. 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy little value on Kitan Oladapo in the 159th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Nice patience on Marist Liufau, who had no business lasting to slot 162. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
They robbed the room for Tykee Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the 202nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in No. 206 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Circle this one: Myles Harden at the 246th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
