Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Sabb: A-.

When a board-topper like Keon Sabb slides to pick No. 217, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Christian Darrisaw leading the way.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In the end it comes back to Shavon Revel Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 6 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A conviction pick on Donovan Jackson at the 77th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan James
Jordan James at No. 97 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Nothing to complain about; Evan Stewart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at pick 143 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick217 Rnd7 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in the 217th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
