"There was considerable speculation about who would be the best player for the Patriots to select with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, especially since they had already taken their next franchise quarterback the previous year. The consensus believed it would be LSU left tackle Will Campbell, assuming CB/WR Travis Hunter would already be off the board, despite the lingering concerns about his arm length for the position."
"But that hasn't appeared to be an issue with the rookie so far, as he continues to be among the best performing rookies of the 2025 season, with perhaps his performance coming against the Panthers this past weekend. By all accounts, it looks like the Patriots have nailed their first-round pick for the third year in a row, with Campbell looking well on his way to becoming a cornerstone of their offense for a long time."
