The New England Patriots are in a unique position where they own the No. 4 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft with no clear direction of what player to take. There wasn’t much drama involved in last year’s draft besides the possibility of a trade-down scenario for the Patriots. Everyone knew they’d take one of the three quarterbacks—Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye—if they stayed at No. 3 on the draft board. However, this time is different because the team has clear needs at offensive tackle, defensive tackle, cornerback, wide receiver and edge rusher. There are multiple holes with several projected players good enough to fill them. The hope is that the Patriots address many of those needs in free agency, but this latest mock draft has them adding playmakers on both sides of the ball.
