Taking Stock Of Patriots Offensive Line After Will Campbell Addition

FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots offensive line will look much different next season.

The Patriots unsuccessfully patched together the unit last season and had a notable departure this offseason when they released longtime captain David Andrews, who missed all but four games in 2024.

New England tried to shore up its offensive line through free agency and in Thursday night’s NFL draft when the Patriots selected LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell fourth overall. Campbell, who will play left tackle according to Mike Vrabel despite concerns over his fit for the position, is expected to be one of three new starters up front for the Patriots in 2025.

Here is how the Patriots offensive line looks after the addition of Campbell:

LT: Will Campbell
LG: Cole Strange
C: Garrett Bradberry
RG: Mike Onwenu
LT: Morgan Moses

Campbell, Bradberry and Moses are the new faces along the line for the Patriots. New England picked up Bradberry, who has 88 career starts under his belt in the NFL, after he was released by the Minnesota Vikings.

Moses is about to enter his 12th NFL season, and the Patriots believe they can still get something out of the 34-year-old, who has a lot of wear and tear on his body. But with Campbell now a “foundational piece” for the Patriots, Moses’ highly regarded leadership will come in handy.

“It became evident to me quickly that this was the type of person and player that we wanted on our football team,” Vrabel said of Moses after drafting Campbell. “He is going to help not only Will, but everybody else in that room and anybody else that we’ll add through the course of three days.”

This will probably be the last chance for Strange to prove worthy of his first-round billing before being labeled a complete bust. Strange played in just three games last season as he recovered from a torn patellar tendon in his left knee.

Onwenu is viewed by most as New England’s top offensive lineman, and he’ll have to play like it with the unit having perhaps the most important job on the field for the Patriots: protecting Drake Maye.

Layden Robinson and Caedan Wallace, both of whom were rookies last year, along with Sidy Sow, will provide depth for the unit.
