Patriots Draft Caleb Lomu, Show Business as Usual

0:00It's April 24th. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI. I'm Cory with a story. Patriots made a bold move Thursday, trading up with the Buffalo Bills to snag Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu at the 28th spot overall. Despite all the noise around head coach Mike Raeble, they dropped a war room video showing him right in the mix on the draft call. Personnel exec Elia Wolf kicked it off by ringing Lomu. Then passed the phones of Raeble before owner, Robert Kraft jumped in to seal the deal. The clip hit late that night, proving the team is all business as usual. Fans and analysts see this as smart depth for an ol' line that needs work, especially with Lomu skills on both left and right tackle. No drama overshadowed the pick, keeping focus on building the roster. His role next season looks like backup to Will Campbell and Morgan Moses for now, but Camp standouts or injuries could flip that script quick. Versatility like his adds real flexibility up front.
