The New England Patriots are armed to the teeth with picks heading into Day 3 of the 2023 NFL draft on Saturday.
After picking up Christian Gonzalez, Keion White and Marte Mapu in the first two days, the Patriots still have nine selections on the board in the final four rounds.
Buckle up, Patriots fans.
Coach Bill Belichick, who is known for wheeling and dealing, could use some of the picks to move up on the board for a player he really likes, or he could continue trading back and stockpiling more picks for next year’s draft.
There’s also the possibility that he could stay put and make all of the selections. Perhaps this is the year where the Patriots want to throw as many darts at the board as possible and see what sticks.
Here’s how the order looks for the team on the final day of the draft:
Round 4
- Pick 4, No. 107 overall
- Pick 5, No. 117 overall
- Pick 6, No, 120 overall
- Pick 7, No. 135 overall
Round 5

Round 6
- Pick 8, No. 184 overall
- Pick 9, No. 187 overall
- Pick 10, No. 192 overall

Round 7
- Pick 12, No. 245 overall
