Mike Vrabel and Co. need a standout prospect, especially one who can bring more stability to the team. While there were rumors around Travis Hunter potentially landing with the Patriots, he could get a call from other top teams atop the draft board.<\/p>\n<p>According to NFL insider Joel Klatt, who released his NFL mock draft 3.0 on Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/lsu-tigers-football\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">LSU<\/a> offensive tackle Will Campbell could be a target for the franchise. Klatt claimed that he will add more depth to the offensive scheme and become a perfect guard for Drake Maye in the pocket.<\/p>\n<p>There are also recent rumors that Shedeur Sanders could make New England his home. However, Drake Maye&#8217;s presence puts his starting ambitions in jeopardy. Similarly, Miami&#8217;s Cam Ward is out of the question since the Tennessee Titans would likely take him with the No. 1 pick.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is the worst possible scenario for New England is to see Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter go two and three, they are going to be desperate for Cleveland or New York to select shedeur Sanders, because that would leave Hunter or Carter for them,\u201d Klatt said (05:29), via &#8216;The Joel Klatt Show.&#8217; \u201cBut if Hunter and Carter off the board are trading down, which I almost did here, I just don&#8217;t know if anyone&#8217;s going to jump up to this point for any particular player.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;So I think New England&#8217;s going to be stuck, and I think that they&#8217;re going to overdraft a player that I really like, but at four, this is going to be a bit of a stretch. Will Campbell, offensive tackle from LSU. Will is an excellent player. I really like him. Four again, is incredibly high. The future for the Patriots is Drake Maye. So why not give him? Give him some more protection up front? I think that that&#8217;s an easy selection again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"Joel Klatt\u2019s FINAL Mock Draft for the 2025 NFL Draft: a shake-up in the Top 5\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NRHrMiGQq5c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"NRHrMiGQq5c\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/NRHrMiGQq5c\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/NRHrMiGQq5c\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>New England Patriots makes perfect destination for Abdul Carter<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/penn-state-nittany-lions-football\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Penn State<\/a> DE Abdul Carter is likely the best pick for Mike Vrabel and Co.

Having Carter brings more stability and depth. Moreover, Vrabel will no longer have to rush to bring in defensive weapons.
