The New England Patriots drafted Michigan guard Michael Onwenu with the 182nd overall pick in the sixth round. The organization had met with him virtually prior to the draft, so there was an initial connection. Onnwenu should help the Patriots bolster their offensive line as they look to undergo a new era at quarterback.

Whether they are a run-first or pass-first team, adding Onwenu is a definite plus. For the Patriots, this marks their second Michigan player taken in this draft and the third Michigan player taken in the last two years. Fans were certainly optimistic about the draft pick on Twitter.

Measuring in at six-foot-three, 375 pounds, he will certainly be a stabilizing force. The Patriots have prided themselves on having a good offensive line. He will be able to help add to that.
