CBS with their grades:
17. Patriots: Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
Grade: A
I had him ranked as the top corner in this draft. For him to fall this far is amazing to me. The Patriots traded down and still filled a major position of need. Nice job.
46. Patriots: Keion White, EDGE, Georgia Tech
Grade: C-
Patriots EDGE all the way. Huge, thick, powerful hands. Tested well but doesn't play to that level on the field. Can be slippery getting upfield or stiff and stagnant when he takes on blocks. Can he win fast enough in the NFL? No offense?
76. Patriots: Marte Mapu, LB, Sacramento State
Grade: B-
Safety who'll play LB in the NFL. Found the football often in coverage too. Big hitter with range. Plus athlete. A little redundant with Kyle Dugger on that defense. And still no offense?
107. Patriots: Jake Andrews, C, Troy
Grade: B
Andrews is a mean battler at center with some burst. Understands angles/leverage very well, particularly for the ground game. Low center of gravity. Played guard before his final season. Must add sand in his pants in pass pro to deal with bull rushers. A little early but a very Patriots pick.
112. Patriots: Chad Ryland, K, Maryland
Grade: F
Accurate kicker but doesn't have a big leg. I get kickers can be drafted but trading up for a kicker in the fourth round?
117. Patriots: Sidy Sow, OG, Eastern Michigan
Grade: A
Ultra-experienced, big, balanced, athleticism specimen at guard who's rarely out of position or off balanced. Combo-blocking machine. Hand work is good. Hard to find a flaw to his game. Bit surprised no offense weapon has been added yet.
144. Patriots: Atonio Mafi, G, UCLA
Grade: C-
Enormous, phone-booth blocker and will devastate smaller rushers at the next level. Only problem is he doesn't have lateral quickness whatsoever and his balance needs work.
187. Patriots: Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU
Grade: B+
Boutte's testing numbers were bad, which is likely why he sunk this far. After the catch, he combines balance with plus cutting skill to knife through the defense. Not a major separator. Low-risk, possibly high-reward WR for Patriots who works best underneath.
192. Patriots: Bryce Baringer, P, Michigan State
Grade: B-
Arguably the best punting prospect in the class. Big, booming leg, which occasionally leads to him outkicking his coverage. Lacks touch on shorter kicks.
210. Patriots: Demario Douglas, WR, Liberty
Grade: A-
Small, decently compact slot WR who runs good, not amazing routes. Explosive after the catch. Very tough to corral. Flashes a bigger catch radius than his size would indicate. Very Patriots pick.
214. Patriots: Ameer Speed, CB, Michigan State
Grade: D+
Oversized outside CB who wins with physicality at the line. Decent explosiveness. Long speed is an issue.
245. Patriots: Isaiah Bolden, CB Jackson State
Grade: C+
Jackson State had a lot of talent at cornerback, which forced Bolden to play out of the slot quite a bit. He has great length and speed to transition to a more traditional boundary role for a player with his traits.
