Offensive tackle is the Patriots’ most glaring roster need. So it should surprise no one that their list of NFL combine interviews included several of the top prospects at the position.
New England met with Ohio State’s Paris Johnson Jr., Georgia’s Broderick Jones and Oklahoma’s Anton Harrison, among others, during their week in Indianapolis, according to Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar.
Johnson and Jones are viewed as two of this year’s top three tackle prospects, along with Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski, and Harrison could hear his name called in Round 1, as well.
A lack of quality tackle depth was a major problem for the 2022 Patriots, who cycled through four different starters on the right side and struggled to adequately protect quarterback Mac Jones.
