Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Bills robbed the room for Coleman. Final grade: D.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 42 spots for Kimani Vidal, and value like that does not grow back. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. On value alone, Coleman makes the weekend a net positive.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Brian Thomas Jr. reach slot 44 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They did well to land Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 28, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick No. 83 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Taking Calen Bullock in slot 99 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter slipping to pick No. 113 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A conviction pick on Christian Jones at the 129th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarrian Jones in pick 153. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kimani Vidal this early at Round 6, Pick 23. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
