The New England Patriots will enter the draft of the NFL 2025 with blatant needs on the list. The question is what position should it be addressed to the overall choice n ° 4?
If an elite talent like Penn State Edge Rusher Abdul Carter or Colorado Repeiver / Cornerback Travis Hunter falls at n ° 4It could be difficult for Mike Rabel and Co. to transmit the opportunity to add such a dynamic playmaker. The most likely scenario is that Carter and Hunter are outside the board of directors, forcing the patriots to pay their attention to the upper tackle available.
The left tackle is undoubtedly the greatest need for New England before the project. Protecting the young quarter of Drake Maye should be the team’s n ° 1 priority after a brutal season of 2024 for the offensive line.
Fortunately for the patriots, Will Campbell should be on the board when they are at the chronometer. Campbell is widely considered Offensive line player n ° 1 in the classroom.
During the broadcast of “Zolak & Bertrand” on Wednesday on 98.5 The Sports Hub, the analyst of the NFL project, Todd Mcshay, spoke a lot about the LSU product.
“What is Campbell experienced, dry – it will enter immediately, whether it is the organization of the patriots or another,” said McShay. “And if he is not the leader in room O from the first day, he will be one of the leaders and I believe, I believe, he emerges. He has this kind of makeup.
“When you look at him, he is not a dominant blocker, you know, the guys-offensive-line.”
MCSHAY notes that even if Campbell would not be the most flashy choice, it still plays a premium position – the one that New England desperately needs to improve. This leads him to believe that Campbell will be the choice when New England hands in the menu next Thursday.
“When you choose in the top 10, you obviously want to get an elite player,” he added. “And there are two guys at the top of Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter who are the elite of the elite. And then there are other guys to non -pre -removal positions. Ashton Jeanty, Boisé State in current. Tyler Warren, Penn State End. Mason Graham, defensive apron of Michigan. But he is just the premium position. Patriots from New England.
“So, I am not saying that this is definitely the choice, but all the signs point to Mike Rébel knowing that he needs this o-line room manager and a guy on which he can count. They cannot afford silence on this choice, and probably cannot afford to take a player who may have a slightly higher note and a position that is not a premium position in terms of value.”
To judge by His press conference before the deodderTruebel will not hesitate to take Campbell at No. 4. He admitted that there were “starters at the left plate” in the draft of this year, and there is little doubt that Campbell was in his mind when he made this declaration.
“I think there are departure plates that will certainly come and will start in the NFL,” said Truebel. “I think it’s really what you start to look for – impact players – when you choose this top. … Do I think there are beginners in this project in the left tackle? Yes, I do it.”
The NFL 2025 draft will start on Thursday April 24 at 8 p.m. he. Tennessee titans have the first global choice.
