7 round 2025 nfl mock draft patriots pull off four trades

The New England Patriots went into the NFL Scouting Combine with plenty of roster questions and a need to build around quarterback Drake Maye. This year's draft is a pivotal one for the franchise, and the team will look to address key weaknesses while also stockpiling assets for the future. While the combine won’t drastically change draft boards, it serves as an opportunity to confirm scouting reports and evaluate prospects against higher-level competition. With Mike Vrabel now leading the team and Josh McDaniels back as offensive coordinator, expect the Patriots to prioritize the trenches, offensive playmakers and defensive versatility. Without further ado, let’s get into this full 7-round mock draft for the Patriots. Patriots receive: Pick No.

6 (Round 1), Pick No. 68 (Round 3) and Pick No. 106 (Round 4) The Patriots trade back from No. 4 to No. 6, picking up a third and fourth-round pick from the Raiders while still securing one of the best offensive linemen in the draft.

The New England Patriots have stockpiled the assets necessary to attack the many holes on their roster through free agency and the 2025 NFL draft. It's important to note that this isn't a deep draft when it comes to offensive difference-makers. That doesn't many talents won't pan out, but it's an indicator that the Patriots might want to stick to the philosophy of drafting the best players available over reaching for positions of need. The thinking with this particular mock draft is that the Patriots make full use of their top-ranked salary cap space to address multiple areas of need on the roster. That would enable them to draft more freely without the urge to force a pick out of desperation. Here's how the board turned out for the Patriots in our latest 2025 NFL mock draft:

The Patriots need a game-wrecker on defense, and Abdul Carter is a one-man demolition show. His elite playmaking abilities have been compared to Dallas Cowboys' star edge rusher Micah Parsons for good reasons. Phil Perry is back with another Mock Draft where the Patriots trade down to the ninth pick and draft Tight End, Tyler Warren. During his chat with reporters at the NFL Owners Meetings on Monday, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel suggested his team is open for business when it comes to entertaining trades for the... 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. "We'd be open to everything that we felt like could help the football team.

I think that's what we have to do," Vrabel said. "Whether that's stick and pick a player, or if somebody has an offer for us, I think we'd be willing to listen. But there's a lot of options that we have to consider that could help the team." That's a reasonable approach for Vrabel, Eliot Wolf and the Patriots front office to take. With needs to address at critical positions, why not keep all of your options on the table?

The New England Patriots find themselves picking in the top four for the second consecutive year, despite appearing to have found their franchise quarterback in 2024. The Patriots slumped to a 4-13 record, plagued by offensive-line problems and a lack of receiver talent that hindered their offense. In the latest seven-round Mock Draft from PFSN’s Reese Decker, the team addresses its offensive line and pass rush early, before adding a receiver in round three. After both the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants pass on Shedeur Sanders with their opening picks, the Patriots miss out on both Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter. Regardless, they get a huge offensive talent in Will Campbell, who will likely be a cornerstone of the team’s rebuild under Mike Vrabel. “His anchor is firm, and his lateral quickness, paired with sharp hand-fighting skills, makes him more than capable of neutralizing finesse rushers.

If that’s not enough, his 9.89 RAS only reinforces the fact that he’s an athletic freak. Teams that were high on Campbell before the NFL Combine aren’t likely to waver now. I’m sure they weren’t surprised or scared off by his arm measurement, especially considering his positional flexibility.” The New England Patriots are a week out from one of the most important NFL drafts in franchise history. It could be a moment that's looked back on as the turning point for a team that lost its way after Tom Brady left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. Or, it'll be remembered as another failed effort by a franchise that went from being the golden standard to one of the worst in the NFL.

What side of history will the Patriots be on? All eyes will be on the 2025 NFL draft to see how New England addresses its biggest trouble spots on the roster. In this latest mock draft, I have the Patriots landing their dream target while also pulling off a shocking trade on Day 2. Here's how the board fell this time around: The Giants don't need another pass rusher, and they've taken far too many looks at quarterback Shedeur Sanders to simply brush it off as a mere coincidence. Russell Wilson being the starting quarterback for the Giants in a division with the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and NFC runner-up Washington Commanders won't make a difference.

The Patriots make a commitment to their trenches in this new NFL mock draft. With the bowl games behind us and the NFL Scouting Combine quickly approaching, now is a good time to release another seven-round mock draft. In this one, the New England Patriots make a commitment to the trenches, but also add some playmakers on both offense and defense. One quick note: After each pick, I have also listed a prospect’s consensus rank according to the NFL Mock Draft Database, which helps put the selections into some contest. So, with that said, let’s get right into it. TRADE: Patriots trade 1-4 to Carolina Panthers for 1-8, 2-57, and 4-110: The Patriots start the draft off by moving back and picking up second- and fourth-rounders this year.

The simple reason to move back is the depth that is available, especially along the defensive line. With so many players all bunched together, it makes sense to move out of No. 4 and acquire some extra assets along the way. 1-8: ED Jalon Walker (Georgia | No. 13): After seeing what happened in the Super Bowl, we want to build a team in the mold of the Philadelphia Eagles. So, why not start with a Georgia defensive lineman?
