The 2025 NFL Draft is four days away, and the Patriots hold the fourth pick for the first time since 1994 when they selected defensive end Willie McGinest. This year, they’ve been linked to these prospects.
OT Will Campbell | LSU
Last offseason, New England took North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye third overall in the draft. This year, Patriots.com writer Mike “Deuce” Dussault thinks they’ll get him some protection by adding Campbell.
Widely considered the best offensive lineman in the draft, the 6-foot-6, 319-pound tackle allowed just two sacks in 994 pass-blocking snaps over the past two seasons and finished 2024 as a first-team All-American, sharing the SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy with Texas left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr.
While much has been made about his arm length (32 ⅝ inches), Campbell received the second-highest score for an offensive lineman at the NFL Scouting Combine with athleticism Dussault calls “historic.”
According to his relative athletic score (RAS), Campbell shows elite speed and explosiveness, the 15th-highest athletic score out of 1,508 offensive tackle prospects since 1987, which bodes well for his NFL career.
CB/WR Travis Hunter | Colorado
This year, Patriots insider Phil Perry put New England’s future in the hands of the fans by hosting a live, interactive mock draft as part of his “The Next Pats Podcast.” Polls were used to determine each selection, with Hunter receiving 84 percent of the votes to become the team’s next first-round pick.
