The offensive line was overhauled this off-season with the additions of rookies Will Campbell, Jared Wilson and Marcus Bryant and free agents Garrett Bradbury, Morgan Moses. They join an offensive line room that return several players from last year’s struggling room.

Improving the offensive line was a priority going into this off-season. While the moves the Patriots have made do that, we won’t really know how improved this unit is until we see them in team and group situations in training camp next week.

Here is our offensive lineman preview, player by player.

Garrett Bradbury: 6-3, 300, N.C. State: Bradbury signed a one year deal to replace the retired David Andrews. Bradbury brings experience to the Patriots offensive line, something they need more of. He has routinely graded highly as a run blocker in his career but he has struggled the past two seasons as a pass blocker. He needs to be much better in camp if he is ultimately going to man the middle for the Patriots offensive line. Bradbury repped with the ones in the spring and I would expect the same to start training camp next week.

Ben Brown: 6-5, 313, Mississippi: Brown did a great job filling in for Andrews after the Patriots cut Nick Leverett. Brown is strong in one on one situations. He plays with a good base and gets consistent movement as a run blocker. He is solid in pass protection, especially against nose tackles and shade tackles. Brown will be in the mix to start. If he doesn’t, he can back up Bradbury and rep and rotate in at guard as well. He will be valuable part of this unit.

Marcus Bryant: 6-7, 320, Missouri: The rookie from Missouri is a project but he has prototypical size and above average athleticism. Bryant offers swing tackle potential so he could end up playing both spots in training camp. It is the best way for the sixth rounder to potentially make the team or end up on the practice squad. Offensive line coaches Doug Marrone, Robert Kugler and Jason Houghtaling have a lot of clay to work with in Bryant.

Mehki Butler: 6-3, 310, Arkansas State: Butler is a long shot to make the team. The college free agent is a guard who could potentially play center as well. Butler’s best bet is to play both guard spots, capitalize on individual and group periods and make the most of his team reps at practice and in the preseason.

Will Campbell: 6-6, 319, LSU: The fourth overall pick in April’s draft has to step in and win the starting left tackle job. It is plain and simple. If he doesn’t win the job, it is not a good sign. Sure, putting that kind of pressure on a rookie is unfair but Campbell is talented, mature and can handle the response. The arm length thing is a legitimate concern but Campbell is fundamentally sound and can make up for his short arms by having good footwork and technique. Campbell has all the makings of a franchise left tackle.

Jack Conley: 6-7, 333, Boston College: Conley played guard and tackle at Boston College. Heck! He even played tight end two years ago. He has great size, is a physical run blocker and uses his length well as a pass blocker. Conley knows Marrone from his time at Boston College and is familiar with Mike Vrabel as well so he has some insight into what they want and how he can make the team.

Yasir Durant: 6-6, 330, Missouri: Durant recently signed and is on his second tour of duty. He is a right tackle but could also be a swing tackle and play on the left side as well. He will need a strong camp and preseason to once again make the roster but he is a proven veteran.

Demontrey Jacobs: 6-6, 315, South Florida: Jacobs started 13 games for the Patriots last season. He played both right and left tackle. Jacobs has requisite size but struggles with bending and has subpar footwork. Jacobs could make the Patriots as a back-up tackle but he will need to prove that he has improved fundamentally in order for that to happen.

Vederian Lowe: 6-5, 315, Illinois: Lowe was the Patriots starting left tackle last season and while he played well at times, he did not play well enough to keep the job. If Lowe is going to keep his job, he is going to have to stave off rookie Will Campbell who is the projected starter. With Morgan Moses at right tackle, Lowe’s opportunities to play will be limited. He either beats out Campbell or he is relegated to being a back-up. Given the depth along the offensive line, there is no guarantee that Lowe makes the team but with the dearth of tackles around the league, Lowe will more than likely stick.

Morgan Moses: 6-6, 320, Virginia: Moses signed a three year, $24 million dollar contract this off-season. The veteran was brought in to lock down the right tackle job and provide leadership. The 34 year old has started 158 career games and he has been a steadying presence wherever he has played. If his introductory press conference was any indication, Moses will have a positive influence on this team.

Mike Onwenu: 6-3, 350, Michigan: Onwenu is now the unofficial leader of the offensive line and he will be counted on to not only provide leadership but on field stability as well. Onwenu started all 17 games and primarily played right guard (691 snaps) and right tackle (329 snaps). He played 1020 snaps and only committed 5 penalties. Onwenu is consistent and the reinforcements brought in, should be cemented as the right guard.

Layden Robinson: 6-3, 311, Texas A&M: Robinson had an up and down rookie season but he should still be in the mix to start at left guard. Robinson is athletic, smart and moves well laterally. He has the physical tools to be a possible pro bowl caliber guard but he needs to get stronger and more consistent. Working with Marrone will work wonders for him.

Tyrese Robinson: 6-3, 319, Oklahoma: Robinson has played for the Commanders, Eagles and Vikings. He’s bounced around but he is a big bodied guard who could compete for a back up spot or to end up on the practice squad.

Sidy Sow: 6-5, 318, Eastern Michigan: Sow went from a potential long term starter to following out of favor last season. The physical talent is there but Sow has struggled with consistency and needs to figure things out this summer or he could end up off the roster. He offers guard, right tackle versatility so that is a plus. He needs to figure out a way to maximize his reps when he gets them. Sow will also benefit from working with Marrone.

Cole Strange: 6-5, 310, Tennessee-Chattanooga: Strange is in essence entering the final year of his contract after the Patriots declined his fifth year option. After starting the final games at center last season, Strange will compete for the starting left guard job. He has the size and physical traits to win the job. When healthy, Strange is a good player but staying healthy has been an issue. If he can stay on the field and have a good season in 2025, he can earn another contract either with the Patriots or elsewhere.

Caedan Wallace: 6-5, 314, Penn State: Wallace played in six games last season and started two of them. What we saw was limited and quite frankly, not impressive. He will need more time to develop. If he does, he can play guard spot or right tackle. The Patriots are going to give Wallace every opportunity to to stick but he will need to start strong in camp and prove he deserves a roster spot.

Jared Wilson: 6-3, 310, Georgia: The rookie lineman out of Georgia is athletic and versatile. Wilson can play guard or center and projects as the Patriots future starting center. He has the traits and is fundamentally sound enough that he could not only be a back up this season but vie for playing time. If Marrone and the offensive line staff take their time, they could get a really good player out of it.
