The New England Patriots are usually on point around this time missing nothing while occasionally moving, acquiring, and even drafting a player or two. They have always been able to get the right players while acquiring more picks in future drafts to ensure the talent level stays at a "Fight for Vince" Status. Well the 2013 Pats Draft Picks were a bit puzzling to say the least but as we all know there will be a Player or two or three out of this group contributing right away somehow and someway.

2013 PATS Draft Picks and Grade

Round Pick Position Player College

2 20 OLB Jamie Collins #USMeagles

2 27 WR Aaron Dobson #ThunderingHerdU

3 21 CB Logan Ryan #StateUofNJ

3 29 S Duron Harmon #StateUofNJ

4 5 WR Josh Boyce #HornedFrogs

7 20 DE Michael Buchanan #Illini

7 29 ILB Steve Beauharnais #StateUofNJ

O know this whoever was scouting for the Patriots and put all their Good Tapes on the Scarlet Knights Players you had better they can play. If not LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook will get you another Look at Scouting for someone in the NFL.

Collins has a chance as he is a Monster on Tape and reminds me right away of former Ramblin' Wreck OLB and "Dome Patrol:" Great Pat Swilling. Explosive at the Point of Attack and super-athletic. Right now you would assume playing in the 4-3 Collins would be behind Jerod Mayo at Weak side Backer.

Dobson is another talented WR who ate up the Comp playing for Marshall. He is most likely behind Pats 2013 FA Pick Ups Danny Amendola (Rams) or Michael Jenkins (Vikes). Can he get trough the learning curve quickly.

Ryan (CB) and Harmon (SS) was a helluva duo on that Back End for the Knights as All-American Backer and Bears 2013 4th round Pick Khaseem Greene played in front of them. Ryan has nice size and he deemed as a Zone-Cover Corner. Harmon is a thumper a Rodney Harrison-Type who is a read and react Belichik type Safety.

Boyce will also add to the Pats WR Depth as he will be behind Jenk and Ex-Bills WR Donald Jones at least as we head to training camp. A sub 4.4 player with a rather thick frame and he is in that Ex-Bills WR Eric Moulds build.

Bucahanan is a 4-3 DE that could maybe later transition into a 3-4 Backer. Then Pats are real deep on that front line and it would hard to make it there as he is most likely a target for Specials Teams and will have top work his way up.

Beauharnais is another candidate for Special Teams and he must make his impression on that unit to stick around. An ILB with descent size and and athletic ability.

The Pats did draft players but caught a lot of people in the know off guard. We will see if these player turn out at least their Top Picks of 2013. Just going on what's on paper its a D+. All you Pats Fans and Belichik Lovers will say Bluedude you will eat your words when these Draft Class is all over the Pats Roster. Well I need Ketchup, Mayo, Onions, Lettuce, and Mustard to go with that.
