| 0:00.0 | All right. So the Patriots are on the clock. |
| 0:13.0 | Is, the third overall pick going to the New York Giants. |
| 0:16.0 | Patriots with the fourth overall pick coming up in just a second here. |
| 0:20.0 | But they hit on the third overall pick last year, as it seems, with Drake May. Now can they hit on the fourth overall pick coming up in just a second here. But they hit on the third overall pick last year, as it seems, with Drake May. Now can they hit on the fourth overall pick, which could prevent Drake May from getting hit as we get into the 2025 NFL draft. And again, Burt Breyer is going to have the pick before anybody else. I don't know if you've been watching alongside. Bill Campbell. What's that? Will Campbell's |
| 0:37.5 | quick. There it is. The Patriots are taking LSU tackle Will Campbell fourth overall, so there you have it. Okay, Patriots taking Will Campbell, fourth overall, left tackle out of LSU. Don't be sorry. I need to address that by cap. I didn't address up your announcement. It's Will Campbell. Will Campbell's a patron. I need you to address your announcement. |
| 0:56.6 | The Patriots will take Will Campbell. I've got to confirm. The pick is in. Thank you. We'll give you a single shot everything. I can give you guys a couple of stories about the process now if you guys want it. That's what you're here for. Hit it. All right. Okay, so one, there was a story out earlier this week that Will Campbell, that the Patriots traveled, sent a contingent down to Louisiana, recently over the last week to go and see him. |
| 1:19.0 | It's not the first time that they've done that and gone and traveled to see him. |
| 1:22.1 | Mike Brable spent a lot of one-on-one time with them. |
| 1:24.5 | In addition, in the 30 visit, they brought him in. |

| 1:35.1 | introduce themselves. And every guy went around, they went around, every guy introduced himself, |
| 1:38.8 | said one thing about himself. Mike said to Will Campbell, hey, you got all that. And Will went |

| 1:47.4 | So there are little stories like that. |
| 1:49.2 | I think you're going to hear about Will Campbell that really, I think, will create some confidence that he can be the kind of culture guy that you're looking for. |
| 1:57.5 | I know for a fact that they view him as a cornerstone type of leader. And I know they feel as though leadership for people that have been in the building for the last several years that they could use as much as they could get, especially on the offensive side of the ball, especially after they just, you know, got rid of a player in David Andrews, who was really one of the few who was providing that kind of thing in the locker room. And I know he really made a great impression on them at the Combine as well. So the |
| 2:21.6 | visits are one thing, but this has been going back now for months. And at the Combine, |
| 2:26.5 | you guys know, like you travel around with your position group, right? You do the meetings |
| 2:30.5 | together. You do the medical together. you do the workouts together, and the |
| 2:34.3 | Patriots had evaluators obviously on the ground and up close and personal with that offensive |
