“Patriots Set to Shock NFL with Unconventional Draft Strategy”
The New England Patriots find themselves in a sought-after position with the fourth overall pick in the NFL Draft, yet their strategy remains shrouded in uncertainty.
While trading back for additional selections presents an intriguing option, recent indications suggest they may stand pat and make the selection themselves.
ESPN insider Mike Reiss, during his regular segment on 98.5 The Sports Hub, aligned with draft analysts by predicting a specific offensive lineman for New England.
“If there’s one thing to know about the Patriots’ intentions, it’s that they want to come out of this draft with more infrastructure around quarterback Drake Maye,” Reiss said. “They feel they have their quarterback of the future. Now, it’s about putting more pieces around him to help him be successful. I am told that they are willing to move down from that No. 4 pick, but, at this point, interest in the pick has been modest. Another thing to know, they spent a lot of time with left tackles.[…] LSU’s Will Campbell—one to keep an eye on at No. 4 as a possibility.”
