Patriots used first round picks on OTs Nate Solder and Isiah Wynn and DTs Malcom Brown and Dominique Easley. OT Sebastion Vollmer was a second round pick in 2009. OT Antonio Garcia was their second pick in the '17 draft and OG Joe Thuney was their second pick in '16.
Both of these teams believe strongly in using their high draft picks on linemen.
Is there a reason you’re phrasing like that instead of just saying they took those two guys in the 3rd round?
