N'Keal Harry and The 2019 Draft Class Was Graded An A- or Higher By Experts Giving The Patriots 2022 Draft Class A C- Or Worse.

The Patriots are being given some low grades for their 2022 NFL draft class. The grading ranges from a D to a C- for the most part. This is not very promising to hear if your a Patriots fan but experts are not always right. And I'm going to show that.

In 2019 the Patriots were given a high grade for their draft class. A draft that included N'keal Harry in round one, JoeJaun Williams in round two, Chase Winivoch, Damien Harris, Yodney Cajuste, and Hjalte Froholdt in round three. Jarrett Stidham in round four, Byron Cowart and Jake Bailey in round five. And lastly, Ken Webster in round 6. 

Pete Prisco gave the Patriots an A+. Nate Davis, Ryan Halloran, Steve Silverman and Chad Rueter gave the Patriots an A. Mel Kiper and Eric Edgolm graded the Patriots an A-. Dan Kadar and Andy Beniot gave the Patriots a B+. 

Now mind you those ratings included where the Patriots took those players.

Dan Kelly and Chad Rueter graded Harry An A. Andy Beniot and Mike Tanier gave Harry an A-. 

Dan Kadar gave Harry a B and Pete Prisco gave Harry a C+. 

Mel Kiper said this about Harry after getting drafted, “Harry has the best hands in this class. He will be a weapon in the red zone.”

Flash forward to 2022 and I'm betting there are people who disagree with Kiper.

The Patriots drafted the following players in 2022. Round one Cole Strange, Round two Tyquan Thornton, Round three Marcus Jones, Round four Pierre Strong and Bailey Zappe, Round Six, Kevin Harris, Sam Roberts, and Chaden Hines. Round Seven Andrew Stueber.

Conor Orr gave the Patriots a B-. Chad Rueter, Nick Gross, and Mel Kiper gave the Patriots a C+ for their 2022 draft class. Pat Lane and Vinny Iyer gave them a C-. Mark Maske gave them a C. James Dator and Kyle Crabbs gave the Patriots a D+. PFF gave thr Patriots a B, USA Today gave them a B-, PFN gave them a C, NBC sports C+, Draft Kings gave them a C+.

As far as Cole Strange he was graded grade D by Phil Perry, Sheil Kapadia, Danny Kelly, Henry McKenna, Andrew Callahan, and Chad Rueter. Kevin Hanson graded Stange a D+. Brent Sobleski gave him an F. And Pete Prisco gave the pick a C.

Here's what I am going to say, look at what they graded N'Keal Harry and the 2019 draft class. Mind everyone that the class was graded on where players were drafted, not where they should've been. We can take the experts opinions but remember that it's just what they are. This could be a great draft class for all we know.
