Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Starks should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in the 56th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Malaki Starks, the No. 26 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Diggs left real value on the table behind him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 30 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 30; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 132nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They paid sticker price for Kyle Williams in the 169th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 170 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 James Burnip
James Burnip slid further than he should have, and pick 173 is lovely value for the specialist. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick177 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Value with a capital V on RJ Harvey in the 177th pick, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
