The New England Patriots have selected Colorado offensive tackle William Sherman at 197th overall in Round 6 of the 2021 NFL draft.
Sherman could stay at tackle in the NFL — but don’t be surprised if the Patriots decide to move him to guard if tackle doesn’t work out. At 6-foot-3, 305 pounds, he’s on the smaller side for a tackle. He played in every game for the Buffaloes over the last three seasons with 27 starts and 30 appearances.
Sherman is the latest addition to a Patriots draft class which includes quarterback Mac Jones (15th overall), defensive tackle Christian Barmore (38th overall), defensive end Ronnie Perkins (96th overall), linebacker Cameron McGrone (177th overall) and Missouri safety Joshuah Bledsoe (188th overall).
