Everyone has an opinion on what the New England Patriots should do with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft.
One thing to consider right off the bat is that we’re working within the confines of an incomplete picture. The Patriots will be entering the free agency period with more money to spend than any other NFL team. So there’s a good chance they’ll address many of their needs long before the draft even gets here.
What they do in that period will greatly impact their drafting strategy.
They have multiple needs on the roster at offensive tackle, wide receiver, defensive tackle, edge rusher and cornerback. They can’t fix everything with one draft pick, but they can get things headed in the right direction with a home run decision on the draft board and a well-executed free agency period.
Let’s rank the five best options for the Patriots with the No. 4 overall pick of the draft.
