"The 2025 NFL draft was critical to the New England Patriots and new head guy Mike Vrabel, who needed to reconstruct his bottom-of-the-NFL offensive line. Vrabel selected two offensive linemen with premium picks. Both made Pro Football Focus's (PFF's) All-Rookie team for Week 5 of the season. They're the outstanding left tackle Will Campbell, the fourth overall pick in the first round, and left guard Jared Wilson, a third-round pick."
"When Mike Vrabel assumed the reins of the Patriots, he had a massive rebuild to undertake, especially of the offensive line and wide receiver rooms. On the O-line, he began in free agency by signing three veteran free agents as more of stopgap solutions. Two, right tackle Morgan Moses and center Garett Bradbury remain as starters. Then he drafted Campbell and Wilson."
Mike Vrabel prioritized rebuilding the Patriots' offensive line after inheriting a bottom-of-the-league unit, using both free agency and the 2025 draft. He signed veteran stopgaps, keeping Morgan Moses at right tackle and Garett Bradbury at center, then drafted left tackle Will Campbell (fourth overall) and left guard Jared Wilson (third round). Both rookies earned Pro Football Focus Week 5 All-Rookie honors, marking early returns on the draft investment. Jared Wilson moved from college center to starting left guard and rendered former first-rounder Cole Strange expendable, though his play has been somewhat inconsistent early.
