To protect the Membou wager, Ceraulo also staked one unit on Will Campbell at +630 to be the second offensive lineman taken. If Campbell goes No. 1 at tackle—as current mocks suggest—and Membou slips to No. 2, the two bets wash. Should Jacksonville or Las Vegas vault Membou into the top spot, the +630 Campbell ticket would cash for a 3.5-unit profit. Ceraulo warns that Taliese Banks cracking the top two would bust both tickets but views that as a low-probability outcome.

Ryan Wilson called Will Campbell the most pro-ready tackle in the class and projected him to be the first offensive lineman drafted at No. 4 overall by the Patriots. Campbell has three years of SEC starting experience, dominated top edge talent, and immediately shores up protection for Drake Maye. While his arm length measured shorter than the NFL prototype at the combine, Wilson emphasized that no one complained when Campbell stonewalled pass rushers on Saturdays. Wilson views Kelvin Banks Jr. as longer and Arvonne Membou as the better long-term athlete, but insists Campbell’s technique, anchor, and day-one readiness give him the edge for teams needing instant help. Bettors eyeing “first OT selected” or exact-team markets should price Campbell as the favorite to New England.

Jonathan Jones predicted LSU left tackle Will Campbell will be the first offensive lineman taken, slotted to the Patriots at pick 4. He highlighted New England’s desperate need to protect a new quarterback and noted that several league evaluators have Campbell graded a full tier above other tackles. Bettors eyeing first‑OL markets or exact‑match props can ride Jones’s intel that the Pats lock Campbell in early.

Jones predicted New England will take LSU left tackle Will Campbell at No. 4 regardless of whether Abdul Carter somehow slips. He called last year’s Pats roster “one of the worst in football,” with left tackle their biggest void. Inside the building, Campbell grades higher than Mimbu and the club is unconcerned about his 33‑inch (give or take) arms after watching him dominate SEC edge rushers. Jones added that Bill Belichick’s free‑agency binge shows a win‑now mindset, and plugging Campbell in as a day‑one starter fits that plan.

Thor Nystrom expects New England to select Will Campbell at No. 4 despite his own personal reservations about Campbell’s long‑term position. Nystrom said every front‑office source he’s spoken with comes away "fawning" over Campbell after interviews, and the Patriots have prioritized intangibles during their post‑Belichick reset. Campbell is currently –180 to be the pick, and Thor believes that price will only shorten once insiders start leaking finalized team boards next week. Bettors holding "first offensive lineman drafted" tickets on Kelvin Banks should hedge, as Nystrom is now 70‑30 confident Campbell is the guy in Foxborough.

Thor Nystrom is well below consensus on LSU’s Will Campbell, ranking him as OT3 and insisting he ultimately profiles as an NFL guard. Nystrom doubts Campbell possesses the foot speed or arm length required to survive on the edge; he expects any franchise that drafts him as a tackle to slide him inside by year two. Bettors can leverage this opinion by taking Campbell’s draft‑position over or by wagering on linemen such as Kelvin Banks to be the first offensive tackle selected.
