Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent slot 126 on DJ Campbell, a name most had 36 spots down the list.

That Fields pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 26 they get a three-down second-level presence. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A wild overpay on Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 60, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at pick No. 91 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 166th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
They liked Ethan O'Connor enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 4. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They did well to land Riley Mahlman in slot 228, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
