Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

There is reaching, and then there is Vernon Broughton at slot 109. The Bills jumped the board by 77 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Campbell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A tidy bit of business in the 56th pick, where Trey Amos graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the 62nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Value said wait; Vernon Broughton in Round 4, Pick 7 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ty Robinson in No. 169. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They read the board right and Damien Martinez was the payoff at pick No. 170. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
By-the-book stuff, Ajani Cornelius at the 173rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 177 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac TeSlaa well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
