Report: Patriots continuing to do work on potential No. 4 pick ahead of draft
admin_news
The Patriots have been linked to Will Campbell leading up to Thursday’s draft, and it appears they’re doing their homework on the offensive tackle before they use the No. 4 pick.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, members of New England’s staff traveled to Louisiana in recent days to visit with Campbell.
It’s unclear who from the Patriots made the trip.
Offensive tackle is a priority for New England this offseason. While they’ve also been linked to Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter — who would also fill needs — they’re not expected to be available when the Patriots are on the clock.
Campbell, despite some having questions about his arm length, would instantly add some protection for quarterback Drake Maye. A three-year starter at LSU and consensus All-American in 2024, Campbell proved to be a reliable left tackle and has “renowned leadership skills and football character,” per Bleacher Report’s scouting department.
MassLive’s Mark Daniels believes the Patriots should draft Campbell at No. 4 “because he’s one of the best prospects in this draft and left tackle is the biggest area of need.”
All speculation about what the Patriots will do with the No. 4 pick will end Thursday night when Round 1 begins at 8 p.m.
