FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots have signed first-round draft pick OL Isaiah Wynn, an offensive lineman from Georgia.

Wynn, 22, was selected 23rd overall. At 6-foot-2, 302-pounds, he played both guard and tackle during his college career.

New England lost starting left tackle Nate Solder to the Giants as a free agent, though it’s uncertain where Wynn will play on the line.

His contract, under the rookie wage scale, should be worth about $11.4 million over four years, and the Patriots will have a fifth-year option on Wynn.

The team has signed all of its draft selections except second-round running back Sony Michel, also of Georgia.
