Patriots QB Mac Jones welcomes Cole Strange to the Patriots with a message on his Instagram story.

Check out the moment the New England Patriots selected Cole Strange with the 29th pick in this behind-the-scenes footage from the NFL draft.

The dust is settling following Thursday night’s selection of Chattanooga offensive lineman Cole Strange, with the Scrappy Moc standout having been an unexpected decision when New England finally made their first pick at #29 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Michael Holley proclaimed on the NBC Sports Boston live draft coverage stated the Patriots can’t lose.  Want to make a bet?  This pick came out of nowhere and even if this pick turns out to be the second coming of Logan Mankins, it will still be a reach.

“I chose to get traded here,” Parker said. “The first on my list was the Patriots. I’m just excited we were able to get everything done.”

This Mock Draft Board is to simulate the Draft Board the Patriots actually use.

“I could look Coach Belichick in the face and say, ‘If you need him to throw five 60-yarders this game, he can do it for you.”

When it comes to looking at first-round players in the NFL Draft, former Patriots Vice President of Player Personnel, Scott Pioli, has a pretty good idea of what the New England Patriots usually look for.
