The New England Patriots had a busy start to Day 3 of the 2023 NFL draft, selecting center Jake Andrews, kicker Chad Ryland and interior offensive lineman Sidy Sow with their first three picks in the fourth round.
There were mixed opinions on the heavy focus on the interior offensive line, rather than selecting a tackle or receiver.
But things started to take a turn in the sixth round with the Patriots selecting Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas. That’s when the excitement level started to jump again.
The Patriots addressed defense on the first couple of days and then turned to the offensive line, special teams and receivers on Day 3.
