Patriots select Will Campbell with No. 4 pick in NFL draft

In a move aimed at building better infrastructure around second-year quarterback Drake Maye, the New England Patriots selected LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell with the No. 4 pick in the NFL draft.

The 6-foot-6, 319-pound Campbell started 38 straight games at left tackle over the last three seasons. Just as he started as a true freshman at LSU in 2022, he'll have a chance to step immediately into the starting lineup with the Patriots, as left tackle is arguably their largest void.

The Patriots ranked 31st in pass-block win rate last season, and they were 32nd in 2023.
