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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Jihaad Campbell slide 25 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Broughton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tre Harris
No drama and no debate, Tre Harris went about where he belonged in pick No. 56. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in pick 62 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than the 109th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Joshua Farmer reach No. 132 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at Round 5, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in the 173rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ben Sauls
They let Ben Sauls come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 1. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
By-the-book stuff, Luke Elzinga at the 206th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
