Patriots Coach Marrone Addresses Tackles Ahead of NFL Draft

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Buffalo Bills are focusing on their long-term need for a one-technique defensive tackle to replace DaQuan Jones, who is in his contract year. General Manager Brandon Beane is inclined to trade down from the No. 30 pick if a true first-round talent is not available, as the draft class is deep at defensive tackle. Potential targets include Oregon's Derrick Harmon and Missouri's Armand Membou, who both show promise in filling this critical role. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots are also evaluating top offensive tackle prospects, including LSU's Will Campbell, who faces scrutiny over his arm length but has demonstrated strong production. Offensive line coach Doug Marrone believes that Campbell's performance on tape speaks for itself, regardless of his arm measurements. The Patriots could potentially use their No. 4 overall pick to address their left tackle position, weighing the merits of Campbell against Membou, who would need to transition from right tackle.
