The 2025 NFL draft is getting closer, and many are beginning to speculate on what the Patriots will do with the fourth overall pick.
When appearing at the Patriots' annual draft party, former center David Andrews leaned in the direction of the team taking LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell.
"I hear the Will Campbell thing all around. I'll be a little bias towards him. He's an SEC guy," said Andrews. "...If this guy is playing down there, he should be able to play here. Now, I know there's other tackles, but I guess all that to be said, if I'm the Patriots, I'm addressing the offensive line.
"It always starts up front. It always starts with the offensive line. It doesn't matter if you've got Randy Moss on the outside. If you can't block anybody, it doesn't do any good."
Some of the more popular projected options for the Patriots at No. 4, along with Campbell, has been Colorado's Travis Hunter, Penn State's Abdul Carter and Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan.
The offensive line will undoubtedly need to be addressed, particularly at the tackle position. New England failed to address the position in free agency, and they'll have a greater sense of urgency to do so in the draft.
But should the offensive line trump selecting a possible generational talent, like Hunter or Carter, with the No. 4 pick? That will be the biggest question facing the Patriots on draft night.
