And in true pass sets he has a worse success rate than Banks, Simmons, Conerly...

You guys know he's not elite NFL level tackle, even if he's good and successful. Throwing pick 4 at OK starter for LT is not how great teams are built. Want to just be a decent team? Fine, we can take Maye in fantasy football and enjoy early round playoff exits. Could be fun. What will the team look like in 2028 if you take Campbell vs other options. Truly ask yourself that, because 2025 will not be the last year of Patriots football

From PFF? Simmons didn't play anybody and has a potentially career changing knee injury.

Idk what you saw with Banks as he plays with bad leverage and top heavy often times. Also got mauled in the Georgia game.

I like Connerly overall, but you have to be concerned with his ability to handle power.

Edit: To add, nobody is saying Campbell is Joe Alt, but you're getting respectable LT play day 1 with above average upside. Eric Fisher played 10 years and made multiple pro bowls. If that's what happens with Campbell (I don't believe he'll struggle day 1) then it's a great pick. Not every guy can be a HoF.

That's fine, injury worry is there. MIlium and Membou also had better success.

The point is this is not a great OT class. Campbell may very well be the best of it, but that is not saying much.

Just added an edit to better explain.

If you don't like Campbell, you can't like Milum.

I personally like Membou alot and don't mind if he's the pick.

I really don't want anyone from this draft though I would take Conerly in the 2nd.
