The New England Patriots received criticism this past weekend for their choices in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Bill Belichick started off the draft by trading back to the No. 29 pick, which was unpopular by fans, and then he selected Cole Strange out of Chattanooga. Fans and pundits were puzzled with the decision to draft an offensive guard in the first round after hearing he was a projected to go in the third.
Belichick said Strange “wouldn’t have last much longer” if the Patriots didn’t pick him in the first round, and the verdict is still out on that.
