I'd like to know how Thor Nystrom (?) thinks this is a draft class worthy of a C.

He just had a harsher scale for everyone. Buncha Fs and Ds. He ranked ours 13th or so with a C+

Chad Reuter gave us a B+, which sounds better until you see that it ranks about 16th for him. His lowest grade was a B-minus.

Probably lazy evaluating when they think of our Sophomore class minus Drake Maye last year. We could view Polk - Wallace - Baker and Robinson as Rookies this year based off last year.

I read his summary. Feels Campbell will be better off as a G or C therefore the Patriots reached for a guy like that at 4. Likes Henderson. Loved Wilson. Likes what we did on day 3. We'll see.

The exclusion of The Athletic's Dane Brugler combined with the inclusion of Mark Maske and Pete Prisco's grades, neither of whom is the best authority at their own outlets, makes this tabulation sorta meh

Lets hope this translates and that we can draft like this consistently. Free agency was great and gave us a solid workable base (minus ot) but the ceiling is established in your drafts.

Last year was rather alarming other than the decision to take Maye. You have to perform well in the draft throughout the various rounds if you wanna catch up to philly,kc,det,balt,etc.

When you think about it you could say we have Two Rookie Classes counting last years...minus Maye obviously.

Hopefully, im still very iffy on alot of those guys because of how bad their play was last year so at best they are unknowns. But yeah It would be huge though if we could get something out of polk and the OL guys

Probably a hater, or a jest fan. Same thing

Some of the best evidence that the Pats nailed this draft, was the lack of naysayers in the draft results chats.

They know who they are, and they were conspicuous by their absence.

Horrible Coaching won't be their excuse this time around.

Well, Brugler rated the Patriots draft as the best as well:

NFL Draft 2025 team-by-team rankings: Best and worst classes, from 1 to 32

Several teams loaded up with talent throughout all seven rounds of this year's draft. Others didn't fare so well.

Now you've doomed it. Once Felger and Mazz come on at 2pm and tell the Negative Nancies what to think, they'll be in here squawking.

This year wouldn't have happened if last year hadn't happened. It took a disaster to get Kraft to make the changes.

I'm an avid Brugler follower, he's a daily follow for me year round so I'm aware of his grade and it bolstered my overall feeling about this draft. What I was speaking to is the noticeable absence of someone as widely respected as Brugler's grade but the inclusion of putz's like Prisco's and Maske's takes To paraphrase BB, who's wrong more than Pete Prisco?

You can almost hear the clown car filling up.

Thats how you have to view it sometimes, especially watching this team the past few decades. the darkest nights can lead to the brightest days.
