Patriots sign TE Ben Watson, 7 of 10 draft picks

The New England Patriots put pen to paper today and signed Ben Watson, along with seven of their 10 draft picks.

Watson began his career as a Patriots draft pick in 2004 and stayed with the team until the 2009 season. He spent time with the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints. He was a first-round pick out of Georgia and has been a model of consistency throughout his career.

Here are the seven draft picks that New England signed:

  • DB JoeJuan Williams
  • OL Yodny Cajuste
  • OL Hjalte Froholdt
  • QB Jarrett Stidham
  • DL Byron Cowart
  • P Jake Bailey
  • DB Ken Webster

Of this year’s draft selections, the team has yet to sign wide receiver N’Keal Harry, defensive end Chase Winovich and running back Damien Harris. Harry is a first-round pick and the other two were drafted in the third round, so their deals will likely be coming soon.
