Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Danny Stutsman fell into the Round 5 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If Prather pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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 edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th pick they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to pick 61, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams slid further than he should have, and pick No. 62 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
The board had cheaper options than Daylen Everette at No. 108, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at Round 5, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
No drama and no debate, Cam Skattebo went about where he belonged in the 172nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 176 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
By-the-book stuff, DJ Campbell at Round 6, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
