The Patriots, clearly discontent with their offensive line depth, acquired another offensive tackle via trade Sunday.
The Patriots are dealing a sixth-round pick to the Vikings for offensive tackle Vederian Lowe, a source confirmed to the Herald. Lowe, who’s listed at 6-foot-6, 320 pounds, was a sixth-round pick out of Illinois last year. The 24-year-old offensive lineman played four games without any starts for Minnesota last season. He spent 33 snaps at left tackle in Week 18 as a rookie.
Lowe played left and right tackle this preseason for the Vikings. He allowed two sacks and six total pressures in 140 total snaps, per PFF, earning a 72.0 overall grade from this summer. He ranked 27th among 104 offensive tackles with at least 50 blocking snaps in that metric.
Lowe joins Trent Brown, Riley Reiff, Calvin Anderson, Conor McDermott, Sidy Sow, Andrew Stueber and Tyrone Wheatley Jr.
