Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Gunnar Helm at the 137th overall pick. The Bills jumped the board by 35 and dared it to prove them wrong. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Carter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 64 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 26. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the 119th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in slot 126, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Value said wait; Gunnar Helm in the 137th pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A premium they did not need to pay, Davison Igbinosun a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick182 Rnd6 Shemar Turner
They did well to land Shemar Turner in the 182nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
They paid a round early for Gentry Williams in pick No. 201, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
