Did the Patriots make the right choice with this seventh-round pick?
Our Patriots insider Phil Perry gives this pick a B grade. Here's his analysis:
"Betting on traits at a premium position is never a bad idea in the seventh round. That's exactly what the Patriots did in taking Missouri tackle Marcus Bryant.
"The Southern Methodist transfer started at left tackle -- opposite top-10 pick Armand Membou at right tackle -- for the Tigers and swallowed up smaller rushers with his 6-foot-7, 320-pound frame. Bryant clocked an eye-opening 4.97-second 40 time pre-draft, and he possesses 35-inch arms."
The Patriots have taken three offensive lineman in this draft. In addition to Bryant, they also selected LSU tackle Will Campbell at No. 4 in the first round and Georgia center Jared Wilson at No. 95 overall in the third round.
New England's other picks include Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson at No. 38 in the second round, Washington State wide receiver Kyle Williams at No. 69 in the third round, California safety Craig Woodson at No. 106 in the fourth round, Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer at No. 137 in the fourth round, LSU edge defender Bradyn Swinson at No. 146 in the fifth round, and Miami kicker Andres Borregales at No. 182 in the sixth round.
