Buffalo Bills earn ‘B’ grade from CBS Sports

The Buffalo Bills did not earn the highest grades from CBS Sports for their 2024 NFL Draft haul. A lot of that comes from their first selection, Keon Coleman.

Overall, Buffalo received a final grade of “B” following its 10 selections made in this year’s draft. A total of 19 other teams rated higher than the Bills in the media’s evaluation.

Although Coleman has received rave reviews locally, the feeling isn’t similar here.

Second-round selection of safety Cole Bishop has received high praise. However, Coleman, Buffalo’s previous second-round pick at 33rd overall, has been called into question.

Here’s the full breakdown from CBS Sports:

Coleman didn’t do it for me in the movie. For his size and athletic profile – and he’s not stiff, but doesn’t get open consistently – I expected him to be more dominant in traffic tracking the ball deep. Buffalo then responded with an exceptional selection – Bishop in the second round. He’s going to be a star with Sean McDermott.

Carter is a high-level runner, and the Bills had a sneaky need at defensive tackle because Ed Oliver was previously the only interior runner on the roster. I would have gone many other directions if I were Davis. After that, Van-Pran Granger can be a high-caliber starter over time, and Ulofoshio is a smooth operator, another with a high floor. Solomon is the exact type of smaller, more flexible outside rusher this roster desperately needs, and Hardy is extremely talented as a cornerback. My disagreement with the first selection brings this rating down a bit, and I’m surprised they didn’t do double duty at the receiver position.
