I don't think it's about width it's about getting your hands on the defender
Agreed but that's arm length rather than wingspan I'd say. I'm not denying that both the arms and span are an issue for Campbell but what's the alternative. It's not like there's a perfect prospect available at 4 and the other LT prospects aren't ideal either.
 
The Pats would be insane not to trade back if the opportunity presented itself, especially for a small hop. If they are not open to that option, they dumber than I thought.
SMALL HOP is fine with me, we NEED to come out of this draft with a LT to protect Maye and help open running lanes.

I'm ready to take Campbell so all good by me
 
People aren't talking about his arms because it don't matter.

But hey, the Patriots know better than everyone else the last 26 years.
It’s irrelevant. Unless you want to explain what a half inch longer finger does to make you a better T.
 
I wonder how much draft capitol the Patriots are gonna give up to move into the late first and take another oline?
 
Not sure how many times this needs to be posted before people on this board understand that wingspan is the real issue with Campbell: "...his 77 3/8-inch wingspan would make him the narrowest offensive tackle recorded at the combine since at least 1999."

So? Why does that matter? Explain to me how wingspan affects a LT? What does a LT do that requires wingspan and makes it a vital thing?
 
If I was in the front office. Lequint Allen at 4 then trade back in for Brady Swinson and Kyle Williams.
In all seriousness, Allen will be an Awesome 3rd down back!! Should be available late too.

In fact 3 ‘Cuse players I wouldn’t mind making their way to Foxboro:

Allen
Orande Gaston, Jr.
Kyle McCord

I'd rather you explain why it's irrelevant in 2026 when it wasn't in 2000-25.

The facts don't lie.
 
Better Running Lanes, more time for WR /play to develop, and less BEATINGS to the Franchise QB that is almost impossible to find.

Yeah, pick a WR or RB for Fantasy stats.
 
He is a prototype of what you want in some ways. At the same time it is a lot of projection which is tough at QB.
It will be interesting to keep an eye on Dart.

I knew that Dan Jones was a bum years ago.
 
It’s true, tackle is an endangered species. I bet a guy like Ersery ends up going in the 20s
If the Bears are hellbent on Jeanty, I'm happy to trade down to 10, collect another second round pick, and draft Simmons (I believe he's an equal to/possibly better than prospect than Campbell) at 10. I'm also not averse to double dipping on the OL early.

It’s always been irrelevant. It’s meaningless. Should we not draft someone because of their shoe size? No unibrows because none have ever been all pro?
 
I really think the Giants take Dart at #3, dropping Carter to #4, and then NE ends up getting a lot of trade calls.
Better choice than Sanders for sure! And he might turn into a really good NFL QB; I watched some highlights and he is deadly accurate on the deep throws. Did you see how loose he was at the combine.

Please, Mr Mara (there is the meddling-owner-genetic-defect in the Mara line), take Dart at 3. Please, please.....
