2021 NFL draft: Patriots taking a close look at two top-tier offensive linemen

With the first wave of free agency in the rear-view mirror, the New England Patriots’ offensive line stands as one of the best units in the NFL — one that has considerable talent at the starting-five positions and some solid depth behind them as well. Nonetheless, the team is taking a close look at some potential draft targets up front.

Carmen Bricillo, one of the Patriots’ co-offensive line coaches alongside Cole Popovich, is currently on a scouting tour and recently worked out two top-tier linemen: Virginia Tech’s Christian Darrisaw and Tennessee’s Trey Smith.

Darrisaw is one of the most intriguing offensive tackles in this year’s draft.
