Sunday’s win over the Buffalo Bills means the New England Patriots no longer own the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft.
If the season ended today, they would now own the No. 4 overall pick in the draft, per the latest update from Tankathon.
New England will now pick after the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants on the draft board. It isn’t the top pick, but they are still in a position to select one of the top players in the draft.
They could address the defensive backfield by adding another top cornerback to play across from Christian Gonzalez. There’s also the option of boosting the pass rush with another edge rusher or shoring up the defensive line with another defensive tackle.
On offense, the Patriots could add another playmaking receiver or finally address their offensive tackle problem.
Regardless of what happens, this will be one of the most important drafts in recent memory for New England.
