The Patriots are coming off a convincing win over the inconsistent Chicago Bears as Drake Maye outdueled Caleb Williams in a battle of top young quarterbacks from the 2024 draft. With that position secured, the Pats need to move aggressively to shore up positions almost everywhere else. It's not an easy task. The good news is the Patriots are starting to move forward with Maye at the helm. Consequently, as things stand today (and they may get worse draft-wise with Maye winning games), the Pats would hold the seventh pick overall in the 2025 NFL Draft as things stand. Whatever the Pats' draft position ultimately is, let's draft with today's situation in mind and add players who'll hopefully contribute immediately, unlike most of the 2024 draftees to-date. Other than home-run pick Maye, no one else has done much of anything thus far.
LSU
Ohio State
Miami (FL)
Minnesota
