The New England Patriots face significant roster challenges, primarily at offensive tackle, leading to a disappointing 2024 season where they allowed 52 sacks. The performance of their tackles severely impacted both quarterback play and running game efficiency. With the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, many analysts suggest they should select an offensive tackle, like Will Campbell, with their fourth pick. However, former coach Dante Scarnecchia emphasizes the importance of prioritizing talent over positional need in the draft.
"If there's a guy there that you really, really want, who coincidentally happens to be an offensive tackle, and you feel strongly about him, then take him."
"The Patriots have several critical flaws in need of addressing across their roster this offseason, but the lack of talent at the offensive tackle position is glaring."
