I think Christian Gonzalez is an excellent pick this late in the first.
I get why he fell. He is a bit slow to react.

But he is super young and has all of the traits of a top CB. Just gotta coach him up.

Remember the Commanders taking Forbes ahead of Gonzalez.

In the right scheme as an outside corner, he is a 10-year starting player.

I thought he was a top 10 prospect, tbh. I just dont like praising the Pats

Lions set the league back to the 90s.

And they're probably going to make it work

So catching up and... what in the fuck are the Texans doing?

I like what they did. Two major impact players. They did give up a lot of draft capital for Will Anderson, but I think he will be an impact guy under Demeco Ryans who will find ways to use him.

I think my problem is they need Will Anderson to be Khalil Mack to make that a good pick factoring in what they traded up with. Stroud I could see it so I am agnostic about that.

i like it

Patriots selected Oregon CB Christian Gonzalez with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.​

Gonzalez (6’1/197) was initially recruited as a four-star caliber safety who was committed to the alma mater of his brother-in-law, David Blough, who is married to his Olympic sprinter sister, Melissa. He earned Honorable Mention All-Pac-12 status with Colorado in 2021 before transferring to Oregon in 2022 where he recorded 50 tackles, 11 PBU and four interceptions to go with a 74.7 NFL passer rating when targeted. The All-Pac-12 DB then went out and proved his ridiculous athleticism at the Combine by running a 4.38s 40-yard dash (95th%), 41.5” vert (99th%) and a near-perfect 9.95 RAS. His 32” arms allow him to jam at the line and swat away passes that smaller corners cannot reach. A smooth strider who has a press man profile, Gonzalez is very difficult to stack vertically with his jets but is still flexible enough to stay in phase throughout breaks. With Oregon’s potent offense lighting up scoreboards up and down the west coast, he defended 64 passes while allowing 495 yards and three touchdowns as opponents tried to catch up to Bo Nix and the high-octane Ducks. Gonzalez’s torso is a little slight which can hinder him in run support, but he really improved this season by posting a rock solid 4.9% missed tackle rate. Overall, Gonzalez has the type of profile defensive coordinators are desperate for.
