00:00And the pick is now officially in.
00:08As we expected, Will Campbell is that fourth overall selection,
00:13the offensive lineman out of LSU.
00:16Joe, he had a sensational career in the SEC,
00:19guarding that left side of the Bayou Bengals offensive line.
00:22He will be tasked with doing something similar now under Mike Rabel and
00:27protecting the most valuable asset in New England.
00:29That is Drake May.
00:31Do you like the pick the Patriots made at fourth overall?
00:33Yeah, solid.
00:34They want to obviously, you know, pass the football with Drake May,
00:36open things up.
00:37And Will Campbell has great technique showcased out throughout his career in
00:41terms of LSU, protecting Garrett Nussmeier,
00:44protecting quarterbacks like Jaden Daniels as well.
00:46And I'll just say this, it's very strong, 228 pounds in terms of the 25 bench
00:52press, second strongest player in terms of the offensive line at the draft.
00:56He's a game changer.
00:57I know that arm length is potentially an issue,
01:00but in terms of technique from pass blocking,
01:03he is the best one in this draft.
01:05In run blocking, a little bit of a concern, but they can work on that.
01:09He can add, he's 319.
01:11They could add another 15, 20 pounds.
01:13Again, he could bulk up.
01:14I love his size, and I think he's going to be an all pro on the next level.
01:18Will Campbell gained a lot of steam here.
01:20There were some reports that even if, and it didn't happen,
01:24Carter was available at four,
01:25they were still going to go with an offensive lineman here at this slot,
01:28trying to beef up and protect Drake May.
