It’s hard not to look at the selection of Christian Gonzalez with a fair amount of optimism, especially given some of the recent history when it comes to how much success the New England Patriots have had with an extremely competent cornerback lining up on the outside.
Having looked at some additional film since he was selected, Gonzalez is far and away one of the most fluid and fundamentally sound players the team has added in quite a while, especially given his size and length. He’s a player who really can start matching up and challenging some of the bigger players around the league, which was certainly lacking last season.
