The Patriots selected Texas A&M guard Layden Robinson 103rd overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Robinson, 22, was a three-year starter at right guard at Texas A&M. The 6-foot-3, 302-pound interior offensive lineman ran a 5.09-second 40-yard dash. He has massive 34 5/8-inch arms for his frame.

From a scout, “Layden is big, strong and steady, moves people in the run game, patient and stout in pass protection.”

Robinson only allowed one sack in 11 games last season. He missed Texas A&M’s final two games with an injury. His best season, based on his PFF grade, came in 2021 when he didn’t allow a sack in 10 games.

The rookie offensive lineman joins a deep group of guards on the Patriots’ roster, including Cole Strange, Sidy Sow, Atonio Mafi, Nick Leverett and Michael Jordan.

Strange is coming off of a knee injury suffered late in the 2023 season. Robinson could wind up competing with Sow, Mafi, Leverett and Jordan for a starting job.

The Patriots selected quarterback Drake Maye with the third overall pick, traded back to take wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk 37th overall and snagged offensive tackle Caedan Wallace 68th overall prior to taking Robinson.
