With the first of the 15 picks they have in this year’s draft, the New England Patriots took Colorado offensive lineman Nate Solder.

They decided to use the pick they got from the Raiders for Richard Seymour on Solder, a mammoth tackle out of Colorado who helps upgrade an offensive line in need of depth.
