history shows what patriots could receive in trade for no 1 pick nesn

The top pick in the NFL draft has been traded 13 times since the league’s merger more than five decades ago. The New England Patriots could soon represent No. 14. New England finds itself in an advantageous position entering its season finale against the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots currently hold the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and a loss at Gillette Stadium on Sunday would mean the organization earns the top selection.

Since the Patriots have franchise quarterback Drake Maye, there’s reason to believe New England will trade No. 1 to a quarterback-needy team. New England would acquire more draft capital in that scenario. But what might a trade look like? While no two trades are the same — especially since some draft evaluators don’t view the 2025 quarterback class as highly as those in the past — we do have past trades to look... Should Patriots consider this hypothetical trade package for No.

1 pick? originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston The New England Patriots haven't owned the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft since 1993 when they took Washington State quarterback Drew Bledsoe. In many ways, that selection was a turning point for the struggling franchise. Could they explore a move up to the No.

1 pick in 2024? USC quarterback Caleb Williams is the consensus No. 1 ranked prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner has all the physical tools scouts love. He's also able to improvise and throw from outside the pocket, even drawing comparisons to Patrick Mahomes in that regard. The Patriots badly need a quarterback.

Neither Mac Jones nor Bailey Zappe represent a good short- or long-term solution at the position. The Patriots will be able to get one of the three top-tier QB prospects -- Williams, UNC's Drake Maye and LSU's Jayden Daniels -- with the No. 3 pick. Send this article to your social connections.

1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft. The Patriots are two spots behind at No. 3. So, what would it take for New England to swing a trade with Chicago for the No. 1 pick? ESPN’s Field Yates laid out a potential scenario in a recent post about the Bears’ future.

Following Week 17 NFL action, the New England Patriots would now hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft if the season ended today. Now, fans can only hope that the Patriots don't spoil having that pick by beating the Buffalo Bills in a meaningless Week 18 matchup to end the year. Having the No. 1 pick would give New England a ton of options. They could keep the pick and select Travis Hunter or they could trade the pick for a massive haul.

Either way, the prospects for the future would look a lot better. With that in mind, the question would become, which teams would be interested in a massive blockbuster trade up for the No. 1 pick? One team that would be an obvious candidate would be the Las Vegas Raiders, who would love to land Shedeur Sanders to be their new franchise quarterback. Savage Sports on X suggested a trade between the Patriots and Raiders. The trade would include the No.

1 overall pick heading to Las Vegas in exchange for Las Vegas' first-round pick in 2025, second-round pick in 2025, first-round pick in 2026, and Maxx Crosby. The New England Patriots, who are currently slated to pick first overall in the 2025 NFL draft, find themselves at a pivotal moment. They'll have a chance to secure a franchise-altering draft haul if they lose to the Buffalo Bills in Week 18. If the season ended today, the Patriots would own the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft. A loss would help them secure the pick, but a win over the Bills on Sunday could ruin their draft position.

The Bills aren't expected to play their starters for a lengthy period of time considering they've already clinched a spot in the playoffs. They could very well come out for a series or two before ultimately being shut down for the game. In this mock draft, we're going to explore the Patriots ending the season with the No. 1 overall pick of the draft, trading that pick and targeting a roster rebuild, rather than relying on a single blue-chip prospect. New England trades: 2025 first-rounder (No. 1)

The Patriots have a great opportunity to accelerate their rebuild with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. But what if New England isn't content with letting two teams make selections before it goes on the clock in late April? In an ESPN column published Wednesday morning, Courtney Cronin and Field Yates concocted hypothetical trade proposals for both Justin Fields and this year's No. 1 overall pick, arguably the Chicago Bears' two most valuable assets. To move two spots up the board, Yates floated a Patriots package of the 2024 No. 3 and No.

34 picks and a 2025 first-rounder. So, should New England consider that deal? First and foremost, the Patriots should only think about it if they love Caleb Williams leaps and bounds more than Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye. At No. 3, New England will have an opportunity to select one of the later two signal-callers after Williams -- as virtually everyone expects -- goes No. 1.

December 29, 2024, 10:08pm EST 7K+ • By Alex Hoegler A blockbuster trade proposal has the New England Patriots blowing up the NFL by sending the top selection of 2025 to an AFC Rival that would let them take Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The Patriots’ loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17, coupled with wins from the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, put Jerod Mayo’s group into the spot for the... 1 pick heading into the regular season finale. Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders is widely regarded as the most likely to go first overall. But since the Patriots used the No.

3 pick of 2024 on Drake Maye, the odds are strong that they’d trade that selection to the highest bidder. The @SavageSports_ X/Twitter account proposed a crazy trade idea that has the Patriots trading the No. 1 pick of 2025 to the Las Vegas Raiders for superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby, 2025 and 2026 first-round picks and a 2025 second-round pick. Not much good comes out of back-to-back 4-13 seasons in the NFL, but there is a least one good thing: back-to-back high draft picks. For the New England Patriots, that meant the No. 3 overall pick in 2024 — their highest slot since Robert Kraft took over as owner in 1994.

The year before he took over, the pre-Kraft Patriots owned the No. 1 pick and used it to draft the quarterback they believed would turn the team’s then-dismal fortunes around, Washington State’s Drew Bledsoe. With their No. 3 pick last year, they did the same thing, drafting quarterback-of-the-future Drake Maye out of North Carolina. In 2025, after their second consecutive 4-13 campaign, the Patriots own the No. 4 overall pick — again, a valuable commodity.

But they no longer need a quarterback. So what do they do with their highly prized pick? Conventional wisdom has held that the Patriots, who — after winning just 33 of their 85 games in the five seasons since legendary quarterback Tom Brady left the team — are in need of... That way, they can add additional draft selections and speed up the revamp of their roster. But on the February 28 edition of the FS1 sports talk show Speak, former 11-year NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson — himself the NFL’s No. 1 overall draft pick out of USC in 1996 — urged the Patriots to go in exactly the opposite direction.

According to Johnson’s argument, New England should trade the No. 4 pick not down to collect additional assets, but up — even though that move would certainly result in the Patriots owning fewer draft picks than they do now. The Tennessee Titans, who currently hold the top pick, would likely require multiple picks to give it up.
