Sean McVay sure seemed shocked by the New England Patriots going out of their way to pick up Cole Strange in the first round of the NFL Draft.
The New England Patriots made some memes pop up on Twitter and Sean McVay cackle after they made a rather unexpected selection in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The Los Angeles Rams head coach, and many folks online, were shocked to see the Patriots pick Cole Strange in the first round.
While Strange seems like a solid option for any franchise to add to their offensive line, picking him in the first round may be a bit much. Still, that’s what the Patriots did. And that means that McVay won’t have a chance to pick Strange up once the Rams actually get a chance to select someone.
The whole deal led to McVay laughing during a Rams NFL Draft live stream.
He seems absolutely stunned at first and then can’t help but laugh off the fact that the Rams won’t have a shot at drafting Strange. And McVay wasn’t the only one laughing or weighing in on the matter.
New England’s decision to pick up Strange in the first round is, well, a little strange and Twitter had some thoughts.

New England’s decision to select Strange this early is something that will cause folks to scratch their heads for a while. He’s a good player, but he almost certainly would have been available in later rounds, right?
Well, maybe.
Regardless of that, considering where Cole played college football, it’s no shocker that the UT Chattanooga memes would be brought up. It makes a ton of sense and these memes had to come up with all of this happening.
At the end of the day though, it does seem like Strange has some intriguing potential and can possibly make an impact with the Patriots. Few franchises are as good at or better than the Patriots when it comes to going out and finding interesting players in the NFL Draft.
It’ll be fascinating to see how this pick pans out for the Patriots.
