Here are the Patriots' draft grades from NFL analysts after Round 1
Briefly

In the 2025 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected offensive tackle Will Campbell from LSU with the fourth overall pick, earning mostly favorable initial grades. Analysts praised Campbell's technique, character, and the fact he started as a freshman in a tough conference. While some raised concerns about his arm length, the general consensus was that he is a solid choice for the Patriots, aimed at bolstering protection for their young quarterback, Drake Maye. Overall, Campbell was seen as a safe and necessary pick for a team in the rebuilding process.
"The former LSU star's hands and feet are as efficient as you'll see from a three-year college player and Campbell's work ethic and football character are off the charts."
"Ian Valentino described the Patriots' position as holding 'the fourth pick in a three-player draft.' He noted that New England made the correct decision in the circumstances, selecting a 'solid' player with the choice."
