Hines is listed at 6-foot-2 and 327 pounds. He made 17 starts for the Tigers. He also showed plenty of versatility by playing multiple positions along the interior of the offensive line in college.

Patriots go with LSU guard Chasen Hines at pick No. 210. Big body. Pretty good athlete, based on how he tested. Excellent 1.74 10-yard split. Very good vert (30.5 inches) and broad (9 feet) for someone his size.

Played three interior spots in college. Two-year starter.

The Patriots selected Chattanooga guard Cole Strange with the 29th overall pick in the first round.

It's not surprising to see New England bolster its depth on the offensive line during this draft after it lost both starting guards from last season -- Shaq Mason and Ted Karras -- earlier in the offseason.
