4 winners and losers from the Patriots drafting Caleb Lomu

Winners

**QB Drake Maye:** New England’s franchise quarterback now has his long-term protectors in Will Campbell and Caleb Lomu. While Lomu projects to start his rookie year on the sideline with Morgan Moses still manning the right tackle position, the Patriots will hope that young tackle duo anchors their offensive line for years to come and keeps Maye upright. Additionally, the odds seemed to have only increased that the Patriots will land Eagles wide receiver later this offseason after drafted wide receiver Makai Lemon in round one. That would provide Maye with a top pass catcher and protector as New England continues to use assets to add around him. **OT Morgan Moses:** After starting 24 games at left tackle for Utah, the expectation is that Lomu will flip to the right side. But, the 21-year old will start his rookie campaign behind Moses. That depth will allow New England to manage the 35-year old’s workload throughout the spring and summer to keep him fresh for the regular season, also still providing the chance for Lomu to receive key development reps early on. “[Morgan’s] a tremendous leader and great resource for young players,” executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf said. “Caleb’s young. He’s got a lot of things he’s going to need to learn.”
