WHO DID THE PATS GET IN THE DRAFT 2023?

Overall Summary:

Overall, this year’s 2023 Patriots Draft class should give the team some much-needed help at various spots on their depth chart.  Bill Belichick’s selection of 17th overall pick, Oregon cornerback Christian Gonzalez, is the most notable player who will hopefully make an impact in year one in New England’s defense.

Offensive guards Atonio Mafi and Sidy Sow are also two potentially big additions to the Patriots offensive line, with Sow also having experience in college at offensive tackle.  At 6-foot-5, Sow also has the size and power to help improve their ground game on that side of the line.  The 323 pounder was a beast at Eastern Michigan, which should have many excited to see what he does here in New England.

Fourth round pick kicker Chad Ryland should also potentially push incumbent Nick Folk, with punter Bryce Baringer expected to hopefully stabilize what was a shaky punting unit on special teams in 2022 for the Pats.

Baringer’s punts were certainly impressive.  His net average of 45.5 led the nation last season and his overall numbers are comparable to some of the best players in the NFL.

Sixth Round picks Boutte and Douglas should give the Patriots two wide receivers who could potentially compete for a roster spot this season, adding to last year’s second round pick Tyquan Thornton.  Boutte also had success as a kick returner in college, making him a solid compliment with teammate Marcus Jones.

To go along with this year’s look at the this year’s 2023 Patriots draft class, here’s a look at the 2022 Patriots Draft picks from last April.
