Is the Patriots' 2022 draft class already a bust? originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The 2022 NFL Draft may go down as one of the worst of Bill Belichick's tenure with the New England Patriots.
Four players from the 2022 draft class -- quarterback Bailey Zappe, running back Kevin Harris, and offensive linemen Chasen Hines and Andrew Stueber -- were waived ahead of Tuesday's roster cutdown deadline. Another, running back Pierre Strong, was traded to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
First-round guard Cole Strange, widely considered a reach as the 29th overall pick, has been sidelined since the Patriots' first padded practice of the summer due to a leg injury.
