Patriots Pick Georgia Offensive Lineman Isaiah Wynn at #23 Overall
Friday, April 27, 2018
Wynn can help fill the hole left by Nate Solder, who signed with the New York Giants in free agency.
"Isaiah has a lot of experience, started for three years, he has played both guard, he’s played tackle, he has played multiple spots and has been productive in both of those areas. He’s a good player, has good traits and was in a good program. He had to block a lot of good people in that conference," said Patriots Director of Player Personnel Nick Caserio in his post-draft press conference at Gillette Stadium.
The Patriots also have the #31 overall pick in the draft.
