2023 Patriots Draft:

I look for Bill O’Brien to scheme up pass plays to take advantage of Strong’s speed, where he’s a mismatch when isolated on a linebacker

“So give me a break on what they were doing offensively last year,” Herbstreit said. “I mean that he (Mac Jones) had no chance.

Patriots’ cornerback Jack Jones was arrested at Logan Airport for attempting to bring two loaded firearms onto an aircraft in his carry-on baggage. 

He was asked about the effect the lost practices had on the players. Belichick grinned and said, “They got a long weekend.”

Douglas is an intriguing prospect. His explosiveness with the ball in his hands will be an interesting aspect to watch.

“I think he (Gesicki), could end up being the one pass-catcher in their offense that defenses actually have to gameplan for.”

With the draft in the rearview window, I am cleaning off the notepad with some thoughts about what happened to the Patriots and who they picked.

Some takeaways coming off an interesting 2023 Patriots Draft weekend.

There was a lot of talk after this weekend about the team not landing an impact player on offense in the early rounds of this weekend’s NFL Draft, but the selection in round one of Christian Gonzalez may end up being a massive key to New England’s success mov

With the 2023 New England Patriots draft in the books, I will take a look at the draft overall and the Day 3 picks.

Boutte is one of the more intriguing guys in the Patriots’ draft, I can’t wait to see if he can recapture his high level of play.

After taking Michigan State defensive back Ameer Speed with their final pick in the sixth round, the Patriots closed things out with their final pick of the 2023 NFL Draft by taking another cornerback. This time around, they opted for Jackson State’s Isaiah Bolden with the 245th selection in the seventh round.

After taking their second wide receiver of the night four picks earlier in Demario Douglas, the Patriots shifted gears a bit with their 214th overall selection. They went ahead and took Michigan State defensive back Ameer Speed, adding some additional depth in their secondary.

The Patriots went ahead and took another wide receiver in the sixth round on Saturday, selecting Liberty’s Demario Douglas with the 210th overall pick.

While punter isn’t exactly a glamorous position, the New England Patriots addressed a relatively glaring need in the sixth round on Saturday.
