2.34: DB Patrick Chung: Tough and smart player can help fill the loss of Harrison. Grade: C+.
2.40: DT Ron Brace: The long term signability of Wilfork is in question, Brace is a solid anchor. Grade: B.
2.41: CB Darius Butler: Versatile and athletic, could be as good as Asante Samuel was in NE's defense. Grade: A-.
2.58: OL Sabastian Vollmer: German born athlete has had a longer journey to Day 1 than most. Grade: B+.
3.83: WR Brandon Tate: Good athlete, could be a star as a returner, but is coming off a serious A.C.L.injury and has already flunked a N.F.L. drug test. Grade: B-.
3.97: LB Tyrone McKenzie: Provides depth and should help immediately on special teams. Grade: C.
4.123: OL Rich Ohrnberger: Hard-working technician should fit well in the Pats scheme. Grade: C+.
5.170: OL George Bussey: Tough guy lineman has to have a great camp to make the Pats. Grade: C-.
6.198: LS Jakob Ingram: Pats needed to replace their long-snapper; Ingram is a top prospect. Grade: B-.
6.207: DT Myron Pryor: Underrated space filler can possibly be a late-round steal up front. Grade: C+.
7.232: QB Julian Edelman: Run-first quarterback might be a slash player or special teamer. Grade: C-.
7.234: DT Darryl Richard: Another raw but interesting gap-clogger, the Pats are worried about the DL. Grade: C-.
