The New England Patriots pick fourth in the first round of the NFL Draft and such a high selection gives them a chance to pick someone who could instantly turn a weakness into a strength.
The franchise has several pressing needs to regain competitiveness and improve New England Patriots odds for 2025. But as the Philadelphia Eagles demonstrated with their Super Bowl win, games and championships are won in the trenches. New England must give quarterback Drake Maye better protection. Initially, many saw LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell as an ideal pick.
However, since the NFL Draft Combine, questions have arisen about Campbellās size and whether heād be able to play tackle on Sundays. At BetMassachusetts.com, where the best Massachusetts sportsbook promo codes are available, we developed these Will Campbell 2025 NFL Draft odds.

Long story, short: Will Campbellās arm length has added a lot of uncertainty about where he will end up in the NFL Draft.
The Patriots, once considered a lock to pick him, will now likely look to fill other needs with the fourth pick overall. NFL.comās Daniel Jeremiah has New England now picking two-way Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. The draft analyst now has the Chicago Bears taking Campbell with the 10th pick.
ESPNās draft guru Mel Kiper also has the Pats getting Hunter. He has Campbell falling all the way down to No. 13, where the Miami Dolphins have the selection.
Campbell could continue to see his draft stock tumble as the draft is still more than a month away. The Cincinnati Bengals pick 17th overall and have a need for a lineman to protect quarterback Joe Burrow. While Cincyās tackles appear to be set, Campbellās size would make him an ideal guard.
Every NFL team threw for 3,000 yards last season except one: New England. In 17 games, the Pats gained just 2,995 yards through the air. Thatās despite completing 342 passes last season, 22nd overall in the league. Small wonder their chances of success are not thought of highly ā the BetMGM Massachusetts Sportsbook lists New England at +12500 odds to win Super Bowl 60 in February 2026.
Patriots quarterbacks were sacked 52 times in the 2024-25 season. That was tied with Tennessee for the fifth-most in the league. Further, New England QBs scrambled, officially defined as rushing attempts on designed passing plays, 56 times last season. Only the Washington Commanders had more.
If the Patriots give Maye better protection, then he should be able to do better than average 6.7 yards per attempt. That was tied for 27th among 39 eligible quarterbacks last season. Thatās where Campbell comes into the picture, perhaps giving the team and its backers at Massachusetts sportsbooks a boost.

That said, if a player like Travis Hunter is available with the fourth pick, it will be hard for the Patriots not to take him, especially if questions arise regarding Campbell. Offensive lineman will also be available in the second and third round. New coach Mike Vrable could address that need with a second-day pick.
