2025 Draft Strategy
The Patriots have the distinction of having the first pick after three teams that desperately need a QB get a crack at drafting. This means that with the fourth pick the Patriots should have their choice of the elite OT and EDGE prospects available, including potentially EDGE Abdul Carter (Penn State) or OTs Kelvin Banks (Texas), Armand Membou (Missouri), and Will Campbell (LSU). New coach Mike Vrabel could also be tempted by the dynamic athletic ability and position versatility that Travis Hunter (Colorado) offers. The Patriots signed Stefon Diggs in the off season but additional WR options are needed in Foxborough. Fortunately, this draft offers a a good variety of mid-round WRs who could be developed into NFL starters. The Patriots need to add a speedy LB and look at adding one of the promising RBs available in this class. The Patriots needs exceed their ability to satisfy all of them in just one draft. But the Patriots now have their coach and their QB and things are looking up in Foxborough.
