good job BB

Patriots selected Oregon CB Christian Gonzalez with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.​

Gonzalez (6’1/197) was initially recruited as a four-star caliber safety who was committed to the alma mater of his brother-in-law, David Blough, who is married to his Olympic sprinter sister, Melissa. He earned Honorable Mention All-Pac-12 status with Colorado in 2021 before transferring to Oregon in 2022 where he recorded 50 tackles, 11 PBU and four interceptions to go with a 74.7 NFL passer rating when targeted. The All-Pac-12 DB then went out and proved his ridiculous athleticism at the Combine by running a 4.38s 40-yard dash (95th%), 41.5” vert (99th%) and a near-perfect 9.95 RAS. His 32” arms allow him to jam at the line and swat away passes that smaller corners cannot reach. A smooth strider who has a press man profile, Gonzalez is very difficult to stack vertically with his jets but is still flexible enough to stay in phase throughout breaks. With Oregon’s potent offense lighting up scoreboards up and down the west coast, he defended 64 passes while allowing 495 yards and three touchdowns as opponents tried to catch up to Bo Nix and the high-octane Ducks. Gonzalez’s torso is a little slight which can hinder him in run support, but he really improved this season by posting a rock solid 4.9% missed tackle rate. Overall, Gonzalez has the type of profile defensive coordinators are desperate for.

A+ on this pick.

Nike must be making the picks again.

Really wanted one of those OTs. But we have a couple vets on the roster. So Nike will get us one or two in the mid rounds.

Now with 12 picks does BB move up in the 2nd if the top WRs or TEs are still there?

No way BB can use all 12 picks this year.

I saw something stating the Patriots have moved up in the 2nd round like 6 years in a row. I could see trading our 2nd and a couple 4ths to move up.

Bill loves finding 1st round talent in the 2nd for the cost of 2nd round salary.
