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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Renardo Green, the No. 153 name on the board, stolen at slot 197. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Hunt pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Taking Keon Coleman in the 60th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Nice patience on McKinnley Jackson, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 36. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalyx Hunt at S-EDGE with offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick No. 159 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Nehemiah Pritchett worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick197 Rnd6 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 197th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Omar Brown
Omar Brown at pick 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 206 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 7, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
