Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Bills steal Cameron and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Josh Cameron, the No. 187 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 220. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Elarms-Orr pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 26 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
They read the board right and De'Zhaun Stribling was the payoff at No. 126. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
The board had Charles Demmings higher than slot 165, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They paid a round early for Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick 168, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in the 182nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Josh Cameron
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Josh Cameron in the 220th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
