New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick met with the media following the conclusion of the 2023 NFL draft.
The Patriots took a defensive approach to this year’s draft, and Belichick was happy to answer for it.
New England selected cornerback Christian Gonzalez with their first-round selection. They then focused on the defensive end position, as they added Keion White from Georgia Tech. They were able to add linebacker Marte Mapu in the third round 76th overall. To say defense was a theme for the team would be an understatement.
