Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Helm: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Gunnar Helm fell into pick 257.

That running back 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.

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
Pick30 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 30: Shemar Stewart for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at No. 62 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick No. 66, and they pounced on premier safety value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach pick 109 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Phillips at the 132nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in slot 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick170 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Taking Charles Grant in the 170th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Quinn Ewers
Circle this one: Quinn Ewers at pick 177 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 206 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
