The picked at No. 17 and while the team does not head into the draft with one player in mind, head coach Bill Belichick was happy that the cornerback was still on the board. Gonzalez was one of the top cornerbacks in the 2023 and the Patriots believe he can bring a lot to their defense.Belichick said when drafting, they look for the best players, rather than just need. He referenced his time with the , when despite having one of the best linebackers of all time, if not the best, the team still Carson Wentz Jersey opted to take another."When we go into the draft, we don't really target one guy," Belichick said (. "Especially when you're drafting at Zach Brown Jersey whatever point. Need isn't as big of a criteria as good football players. I learned that at the Giants in 1984 when we took Carl Banks. We had Lawrence Taylor, obviously, and it was kind of like, 'Why are we taking another outside linebacker?' As it turned out, that was probably one of the better picks that we had at the Giants."The future Hall of Fame head coach continued, saying quality players will always benefit the team, no matter who else is already on the squad."I don't think it's about where you need a player. If you've got a good football player, nobody's ever gonna regret that," Belichick said. "I'm glad Gonzo was there. I think when you just go and Lane Johnson Jersey look for one guy and then he's not there, there's other players in the draft that can help us as well. But he's been great to work with, and I look forward to getting him ready to go for training camp." The plan for Gonzalez is not limited to one spot and the head coach wants the rookie to get experience in many areas to see where he can Clayton Thorson Jersey have the most impact."We'll work him at a number of positions, again, like we do almost all players at this point in time in the spring, and then narrow it down a little bit when we get to training camp," Belichick said. "Ultimately, he's most likely going to be a perimeter corner, but I think there are other situations where he could play inside or could play in a deeper part of the field, depending on what the call is or how things present themselves from a game-plan structure from time to time."Patriots second-year corner was arrested last week on gun charges, pleading not guilty during an arraignment. The situation with Jones is still unknown and if he is not present for the 2023 season, Reggie White Jersey Gonzalez's role could increase. The Patriots drafting has been criticized in recent history, but this season there is a lot of optimism around the players they took. Owner Robert Kraft, who was vocal on his i sues with previous draft cla ses, believes this "was a great, great draft" for New England. He added, "I'm really optimistic about the team."
