We have officially entered the time post draft that we call “The Draftermath”. How did things shape out for Bill Belichick and the Patriots in the 2023 Draft? Bill Belichick has been in need of some good fortune, and he received it in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, stealing Christian Gonzalez with the 17th pick after trading back from 14. Gonzalez entered the first round as an expected top-10 pick, and defensive back was a major area of need for the Pats entering the draft. The Christian Gonzalez pick should provide optimism to Patriots fans, and Bill Belichick. The Patriots made nine selections in Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft. Which of these draftees can we expect to make the roster and possibly make an impact? Fitzy & Hart discuss.
