After a chaotic first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots enter Day 2 as one of the biggest early winners around the league. Despite moving back three spots from No. 14 to 17, New England still walked away with cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who was widely regarded as a top-10 talent.
With the trade back, the Patriots also netted an additional fourth-round (No. 120) selection meaning they enter Day Two with 11 total picks still in their arsenal. It should be expected New England does not use all of those selections, meaning moving up the draft board could be in play Friday night.
