Patriots make surprising trade up in NFL Draft for Utah OT Caleb Lomu
"FanSided's interactive Big Board described Lomu as a 'quality pass protector who is equally adept both between the ears and on the field.' His skills suggest he could be an immediate starter despite needing work as a run blocker."
"Lomu's experience as a left tackle in college positions him well for a potential move to right tackle in the NFL, especially with the presence of 2025 No. 4 overall pick Will Campbell."
The New England Patriots traded up to the No. 28 overall pick to select Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu after their top target was taken. Lomu, who played left tackle in college, may transition to right tackle in the NFL. He is recognized as a quality pass protector, although he requires improvement in run blocking. His ability to manage pressure and anchor against power could allow him to start immediately for the team.
