The New England Patriots left the 2024 NFL draft having made eight selections over the course of seven rounds after making one trade that swapped picks.
Patriots de facto general manager Eliot Wolf and company were busy working the lines and deciding which new young players to take, and they walked out with a class that addressed some of their biggest needs.
After the completion of the three-day event, now is a great time to look at how New England's new batch of rookies graded on Kent Lee Platte's Relative Athletic Score (RAS).
