Pats first pick in the 4th round: Jake Andrews-C
Add K Chad Ryland and G Sidy Sow.
Glad to see a center and a guard selected though I haven’t the slightest idea whether either project to be starter quality.
Took a kicker with a pretty valuable pick. Don’t know anything about the guy but I imagine he must be pretty good.
Glad for any knowledgeable folks to assess the selections.
I love the Sow pick. He can play any of the three interior line positions and was one of the best run blockers in college last season. I do wonder if the Pats are planning to move Onwenu back to RT. Their picks of Andrews and Sow (along with the other FA additions) seem to indicate they either know they won't pay Onwenu after this season, or that they'll move Onwenu to RT and roll with Trent Brown, Onwenu and their other additions (Reiff, Anderson, McDermott, etc.) in a rotation at tackle.
David Andrews is 31 and getting older, plus he's dealt with some injuries. I think this new Andrews (Jake Andrews) might just be backup in 2023, but insurance for beyond that.
