The Patriots traded up and selected Michigan guard Michael Onwenu. New England had been linked to Onwenu leading into the draft.
Bill Belichick looks to shore up his depth at the guard position with this pick. Left guard Joe Thuney is playing under the franchise tag in 2020 and he's reportedly not close to an extension with the Patriots. The team also drafted G/C Hjalte Froholdt out of Arkansas in 2019. Onwenu gives Belichick another body to think about as he ponders the Pats' future at left guard. -- Matt Dolloff
Trade Details
Per ESPN's Field Yates, the Patriots traded picks 212 and 213 to the Colts to move up to pick No. 182.
