Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Coleman: B.

When a board-topper like Keon Coleman slides to No. 71, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Every board in the league had Jean-Baptiste lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A tidy little value on Ladd McConkey in the 35th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 60 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at pick 71 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Blake Corum graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
Good price on McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 129, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 23, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick162 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They will replay Beau Brade at the 162nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A quiet steal in No. 198: Johnny Dixon for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javontae Jean-Baptiste. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Value said wait; Logan Lee in the 222nd overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 KT Leveston
The board had KT Leveston higher than the Round 7 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
