The New England Patriots had an NFL draft that surprised many. They selected offensive lineman Cole Strange with the 29th pick, while they selected Baylor receiver Tyquan Thornton in the second round.
The picks have been scrutinized in the following days, with the Los Angeles Rams openly questioning the selection of Strange early in the draft.
Multiple experts have graded the draft picks in recent days. On Tuesday, Mike Girardi of NFL Network gave new insight into where these two draft picks were placed on other teams’ draft boards.
The Patriots chose Strange, and in the process, passed on players such as corners Andrew Booth and Kyler Gordon.
