Patriots Draft & OTAs: Vera-Tucker, Bowry & New Facility

0:00On March 29th, free agency dust has settled for the Patriots, and now all eyes are on the NFL draft just under a month away. Their offensive line got a full makeover last off season with four new starters and three new coaches jumping from dead last to 12 in impact. Scores. That helped fuel their Super Bowl run, but they know there's more work to do. Early this off season, they traded veteran center Garrett Bradbury, who started all 21 games last year to the Chicago Bears. That opens the spot for Jared Wilson at his natural position. Then they signed Alicia Vera Tucker to a three-year deal worth up to $42 million, sliding him at left guard as the potential final. Peace for a dominant unit. Vera Tucker brings experience, but has battle injuries, playing only 43 of 85 possible games since 2021, with torn. Tri-Seps in both arms and a torn Achilles. At 26, he's healthy for OTAs and hyped about joining forces with Will Campbell and Wilson, praising their grit from last season's playoffs.
