The Patriots stayed defensive with their second pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Georgia Tech edge rusher Keion White is headed to New England after being selected with the 46th overall pick. The Patriots opened their draft by taking cornerback Christian Gonzalez in the first round.

White was one of four players who opted to attend the draft before going undrafted in the first round on Thursday night.

White played tight end at Old Dominion to kick off his college time and then moved to defense before transferring to the ACC school. He had 54 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks during his final collegiate season.

  1. He wears #6. He’ll be on one side and Judon will be on the other. Bookends. What number is Judon?

  4. When are they gonna draft somebody on offense to help Jones? They need OT, TE AND WR. OH, no worries. They have a boatload of picks in rounds 4-6. They’re sure to find some gamebreakers there. SMH.

    You don’t know more than Belichick. Ya just don’t.

  6. .500 since Brady left, with some terrible drafts and a team that won’t win 10 gam3s this year. Not saying I know more, but BB ain’t perfect, which he’s definitely demonstrated of late. I can question him and be correct. I wouldn’t have put Patricia in charge of the offense last year. I just wouldn’t. Love the Kool aid drinking fans that think every critical opinion is sacrelidge

    The problem is, you’re not a scout or in the business, and no one has a clue how any of these guys are going to turn out anyway. That’s the point. The value of a starting LT in Rd 2 isn’t there, according to NE’s scouting dept and BB. Again, you’re not a scout or a GM, so you can’t really counter that analysis.

    Next, the dork level of pretending all these names repeated ad nauseum for months really means anything in the end, is just beyond dorky. All the “mock” drafts and fans wanting this guy and that guy, so they can add him to their fantasy roster or Madden video game team, is just embarrassing for adults to be so concerned with.

    All that matters is how they look on gamedays. You probably thought Marcus and Jack Jones were bad picks last year or Dugger was a bad pick because you never heard of him.

    This isn’t 2+2=4. It’s not factual. So, yes, critiquing it when it’s just fine, is being typically irrational for a spoiled Pats fan.

    As for Tackle, they clearly didn’t like any of them in the 1st rd and they clearly feel there isn’t one they need in Rd 2. Simple. Very simple.

    They’re probably thrilled Pitt took character issue Broderick Jones in front of the Jetsies. lol

  8. The simple point p6, is they have a good defense, but not enough talent on offense to compete. Especially with a middle of the road QB like MJones. I don’t have to be a scout or a GM to realize that. It’s that simple.

    I predicted they would draft Dugger. Both their OTs contracts are up after this year. Ummm, I think they need to draft one. They stockpile all this draft capital, sit there and let the world pass them by, and draft a DE end to replace e DWise. Sorry, not good enough. BB can’t rest on his laurels forever

  9. Belichick must be thinking : I don’t know sh!t about offense and I have no clue who will be good, why wastes picks on offense?

    Of course, there is another possibility : screw Mac Jones.

  10. The Pats have found many a starting o-lineman in the latter rounds as well as undrafted free agents.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    They all needed Brady’s quick release. Nate Solder went to Giants and became a joke.

  12. I actually like all of their selections so far, but I am scratching my head as to why you stockpile all those 4th round picks and don’t use them to move up and grab some offensive players too. Maybe the trade partners didn’t materialize tonight. Who knows? Still a long way until the final 53.

  13. I’m not just talking about OTs. I’m talking about WRs and TEs too. Oh wait. They just drafted another LB/S hybrid to add to the 3 they already have. This just keeps getting better.

  14. Finding gold among rocks.

    Guess Belichick is back to his old way with Brady. If so, it is destined to fail.

  15. People keep saying the Patriots defense is good. Is it? When was the last time they shut down an elite offense? Super Bowl 53?

    I have no problem with what they’re doing trying to improve it. It needs to be a better if they want to compete with these explosive offenses in the division and around the league.

  16. Let’s not forget the Pats ALREADY did the very best thing they could do for the offense this year, they got a proven OC/QB coach in BoB & a proven o line coach in Klemm…. They also got JJSS, Giseki & Robinson…. Still plenty of time to bring in some youth & talent to develop
    It’s been a AWESOME draft so far!!!
