Instant grade for the Patriots drafting Andres Borregales in Round 6
Briefly

The New England Patriots chose kicker Andres Borregales with the 182nd overall pick in the draft. Borregales, from the University of Miami, achieved an impressive field goal accuracy of 94.7% last season and converted all extra points, which led scouts to rank him as the top kicker available. Opinions on the selection vary, with some suggesting that investing draft capital in a kicker is less effective than signing undrafted players, despite his solid collegiate performance, including a respectable make rate over 50 yards.
Andres Borregales was the top-rated player on the board after making 94.7 percent of his field goals and all 62 of his extra points last season.
While he doesn't have the biggest leg, the upside of the accuracy and professionalism is enough to make him a smart pick here.
