Patriots Didn't Want Travis Hunter As Much As We Thought

The New England Patriots played it safe in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night, selecting LSU Tigers tackle Will Campbell with the fourth overall pick.

It was a smart move by the Patriots, who now finally have some legitimate blind-side protection for quarterback Drake Maye.

But something strange also happened: the Cleveland Browns traded out of the No. 2 pick, allowing the Jacksonville Jaguars to move up from No. 5 and select Travis Hunter. You know, the guy we all assumed New England was enamored with all along.
