The Patriots took Vanderbilt long snapper Julian Ashby at 251, but the franchise's final selection at 257 was this year's "Mr. Irrelevant" selection, a moniker awarded annually to the final pick in the NFL draft.

If there was one team that was definitely going to draft a kicker this year, it was the New England Patriots. Going into the draft, the Patriots had exactly ZERO placekickers on their roster, but they now have one after selecting Andres Borregales in the sixth round (182nd overall).
