The Patriots selected Sacramento State hybrid Marte Mapu with the 76th pick of the third round. Mapu was the 2022 Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year. He has played safety, nickel and linebacker in his college career. Mapu was selected to the Senior Bowl where he more than held his own. He was coached by Patriots defensive line coach DeMarcus Covington who was the defensive coordinator of the North……
The Patriots have drafted defensive end Keion White out of Georgia Tech with the 46th pick of the second round. White is a former tight end at Old Dominion who transferred to Georgia Tech and changed positions switching over to defensive end. White finished last season with 14 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. He was dominate and unblockable at times. Front versatility is a big part of his game…….
