The New England Patriots had a busy start to Day 3 of the 2023 NFL draft, selecting center Jake Andrews, kicker Chad Ryland and interior offensive lineman Sidy Sow with their first three picks in the fourth round.
There were mixed opinions on the heavy focus on the interior offensive line, rather than selecting a tackle or receiver.
But things started to take a turn in the sixth round with the Patriots selecting Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas. That’s when the excitement level started to jump again.
The Patriots addressed defense on the first couple of days and then turned to the offensive line, special teams and receivers on Day 3. Here’s what people were saying on Twitter after the final day of the NFL draft.
#Patriots O-line could very well be settled if Andrews and Sow are hits.
LT Trent Brown/Calvin Anderson
LG Cole Strange/Sidy Sow
C David Andrews/Jake Andrews
RG Mike Onwenu/J. Andrews

If the Patriots find a way to beat the Jets this year with this new kicker Chad Ryland kicking a walkoff field goal, it might be the most Bill Belicheck moment of his entire career. #patriots #NFLDraft #nfl #draft #pats #kicker
