DRAFT Welcome to New England, LSU OT Will Campbell

[sportnik]

Jets just picked a superior OT at 6. So embarrassing.

Can’t hate the position they took. Can’t hate the college production in the SEC. That doesn’t always translate though and there are very valid concerns by a lot of analysts and scouting reports. That being said, also has a lot of supporters. We’ll see what happens. If he comes in and plays LT at a really high level this will probably be a home run pick (so long as they didn’t pass on like Aaron Donald or LT with Graham/Jeanty).

Even if he is only ok at LT or ends up being a good to great guard, can still be an ok pick depending on what others do.

Jeeze... That's going to be one highly paid guard.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Great kid. Hope it works out

[Thunderhead]

Guard at 4OA

 

[ahmed]

I dreamed for 20 years, during Brady's entire career here, to draft a stud LT.

Dreams do come true kids!!!

I refuse to believe an entire draft does not have 1 elite LT.

Here’s to it. Let’s support him and hope for the best.

There’s been a serious lack of leadership in the OL group with the Patriots for several years now. Both in the players and the coaches.

But with Doug Marrone, two assistants, Morgan Moses, and now this rookie it’s a whole different vibe.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Loved his interview

 

[203Pat]

I don't know Cole Strange is up there.

 

[bakes781]

I don't doubt his heart and the rest of the intangibles about him.

If he ends up playing guard, he's a failed pick.

You already have Layden Robinson, Cole Strange and Sidy Sow vying at that position.

You'd be spinning your wheels.

If he's not our LT, it's a busted pick.

Loved his interview

An instant classic. His raw emotions and humanity really touched a lot of Patriots hearts.

My son makes these videos
He just put this together on Campbell

He is a RT though no? We have a higher need for LT.

Are short arms really that big of a deal?

Sow and Robinson spent all of last year vying for the position of worst guard in the NFL. Strange has been average at best so far and his career and may end up at center long term.

 

[Brotherblues]

Now that Membou is off to Jersey he is dead to me.

All in on Will. Can't measure heart at the combine but you can tell this guy has plenty of it.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Tet already has a noose around his neck
They told him he has to watch film

 

[Triumph]

The truth hurts. Campbell is an obvious wasted draft pick and every other team in the league is celebrating it.

I heard of LSU fans buying Campbell hoodies and the sleeves were too short.
