patriots shocking trade up to no 1 pick in draft urged by msn

Flipping quarterback Joe Milton III for a fifth-round pick could help the New England Patriots acquire an extra first-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft. A choice that can go toward fixing the team’s obvious problem at left tackle. It’s an idea from Boston Sports Journal’s Mike Giardi, who thinks Ohio State’s Josh Simmons could be among those still in play late in the opening round. Giardi has the Patriots, owners of the fourth-overall choice, combining the 171st pick they got for Milton “with the later 3rd rounder (77) with the 2nd rounder (38), and the Pats can climb to... Conerly? Simmons?

Sign me up.” Simmons being in reach of the Pats would surely please head coach Mike Vrabel. The former Buckeyes alum recently spent significant time with Simmons, despite concerns about the latter’s “football character.” Maybe those concerns deter the Patriots, maybe not, but sending Milton to the Dallas Cowboys for improved draft capital has given Vrabel and general manager Eliot Wolf options. A trade back into Round 1 is among the better options. Especially if the Patriots have already used the fourth pick to add an impact player on one side of the trenches.

The New England Patriots finally landed a wide receiver who could, in theory, put up a 1,000-yard season for them in 2025. By signing four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract, the Patriots are undoubtedly taking a risk, especially as the 31-year-old recovers from a torn ACL. But Diggs has six 1,000-yard campaigns to his name; the rest of New England's roster has a combined zero. The Patriots have the fourth-overall pick in the NFL Draft, and aside from the unique case of wideout/cornerback Travis Hunter, there aren't any pass-catchers worth taking that high. But could the Patriots instead take a top offensive tackle with the fourth pick and make a surprise trade to take one of the receivers best suited for the back half of the first... On Wednesday, Bleacher Report's Moe Moton wrote a piece with a sentence of offseason advice for each NFL team.

Moton urged the Patriots to trade for a second first-round pick and use it on a four-year Ohio State standout to supplement Diggs in the receiving core. 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 NFL could be reaching out following the Houston Texans’ 16-13 win over the Tennessee Titans this coming week. However, the league’s interest is likely to be on Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons. What is unclear is whether the league will side with Simmons or the in-game referees,...

Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m. ET | Lambeau Field, Green Bay WI | Broadcast Information | Patriots Top 50 Big Board Pats Pulpit will have you covered with plenty of coverage over the next three days and beyond, so make sure to regularly check back for all the latest news, rumors and analysis. Please also head down to the comment section to use this as your open thread for the day. The New England Patriots have some of the most draft capital in the 2025 NFL Draft, and with their selections, they're constantly involved in trade rumors. In a new piece from multiple insiders at ESPN, the Patriots are predicted to trade back into the first round.

In a new pre-draft collaboration article, Field Yates of ESPN predicted that the Patriots would make a trade with the Washington Commanders. The Patriots move up from 38th overall in the second round to 29th overall in the first round in the trade idea. New England would give pick 77 for the Commanders' fourth-round pick at 128th overall. It would be a massive trade-up for the Patriots, as moving back into the first round would likely net the Patriots one of the top players in the draft. New England would also receive the fifth-year option for any player they draft, which is a significant asset in team building. Yates justified his proposed trade idea by saying the Patriots have been aggressive all offseason, and being assertive in the draft wouldn't be a surprise.

He also mentioned that the Patriots could consider the offensive line or the wide receivers in a trade-up. If the Patriots pick an offensive lineman at fourth overall, they could go for a wide receiver in this trade-up idea from Yates, giving Drake Maye a new weapon and a protector for the... 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...
