Campbell could be the Patriots' starting left tackle for the next decade, and his addition significantly upgrades a position that was a huge weakness for New England over the last few seasons.
He is smart, tough, athletic, and played fantastic against top-tier competition in the SEC over the last three years at LSU.
The Patriots also upgraded at right tackle with the signing of veteran Morgan Moses in free agency last month. New England has made protecting Maye a top priority this offseason.

The Patriots could add even more offensive linemen to the mix over the next few days of the draft. They currently own three picks on Day 2 of the draft Friday. Those picks are No. 38 overall (second round), No. 69 (third round) and No. 77 (third round, via Falcons).
