Sports Illustrated's Lindsay Rhodes makes the case for the Patriots to take LSU tackle Will Campbell with the No. 4 pick.
You could make a case for the Patriots going in one of several different directions with their first-round pick. One of those paths is an offensive tackle. Left tackle is one of the most important positions in the sport, and the Patriots need a major upgrade in that area.
"What about Will Campbell at No. 4 protecting Drake, which I would say is priority No. 1. You need pass catchers for , you need a bunch of different things. But priority No. 1, get an offensive line that can protect him," Rhodes explained."And then the wide receivers that you put out there don't even have to be as good.
"I would say Campbell because the other thing about the offensive tackles is, and this happened at the Senior Bowl, when you look at the guys who are coming in as offensive tackles, there's a massive conversation about whether he's still an offensive tackle or does he need to move to guard or is he a center now," Rhodes said.
