NFL world reacts to Patriots taking first kicker in 2020 NFL Draft

The New England Patriots selected the first kicker in the 2020 NFL Draft, taking Justin Rohrwasser out of Marshall with the 159th overall pick.

A kicker! And it's the Patriots taking him. Justin Rohrwasser from Marshall is headed there.

New England needed a kicker after cutting Stephen Gostkowski earlier this offseason.

But given the fact that Bill Belichick literally had his dog sitting in his seat yesterday during the draft there were a ton of jokes made about this pick.

Patriots (of course) take first kicker off the board in Marshall’s Justin Rohrwasser. 💥 🏈 pic.twitter.com/qGHfTSQPvQ

Middle of the 5th and we have our first KICKER!!

Patriots again passing on Fromm, and picking Justin Rorwasser from Marshall.

They replaced their Kicker before their QB!

I have think they did it because Bill likes the dudes name…

This is awesome…😂😂

#Patriots select Marshall K Justin Rohrwasser at 159. He’s the first kicker taken but arguably the 10th-best kicker in the draft. However, I refuse to doubt Bill Belichick’s decision-making.

On a side note, they took him over Fromm and @sgninjournalist is not happy.

The Pats draft the first Kicker off the board? Not only are the Bucs the new Patriots, but the Patriots are the new Bucs
