Patriots draft picks 2025: Who did New England take? Full list of NFL Draft selections

The Patriots suffered through a grim campaign during the 2024 NFL season. They could potentially benefit from it in 2025.

The New England team struggled throughout a disappointing season, ending up at the bottom of the AFC East divisional rankings... once more. Jerod Mayo faced an unexpected—and possibly contentious—departure, being replaced by another ex-Patriots player, Mike Vrabel.

Several months later, New England’s prospects seem to be looming ahead. This isn’t due to the Patriots’ current performance — which is undoubtedly lacking — but rather because they possess several players who appear poised to make significant contributions come 2025, with quarterback Drake Maye leading the charge as the former third-overall draft pick.

After a commendable first season, Maye earned himself a spot in the Pro Bowl. Though his statistics were not spectacular, his less tangible qualities indicate that he might have a breakthrough performance soon enough. He simply requires some additional support to reach this potential. The 2025 NFL Draft may provide exactly what he needs as numerous prospects are anticipated to contribute immediately from day one.

The Sporting News monitored all of the Patriots' picks throughout the 2025 NFL Draft, covering rounds one through seven, including their selection of this year’s Mr. Irrelevant as the final pick.

Patriots NFL Draft needs

• Offensive line: As Maye prepares to lead New England's offense over the coming ten years, the team must focus on securing protection for him within the pocket. His 9.14% sack rate ranked fifth highest in the NFL, behind Deshaun Watson, Will Levis, Caleb Williams, and Jalen Hurts. For Maye to excel in his second season with the franchise, investing in an improved offensive line will be crucial.
• Wide receiver: Maye's inaugural season stood out even more due to him not having a true go-to target at the X position. In 2024, Demario Davis led the Patriots as their top receiving threat with just 621 yards. To fully leverage a quarterback’s potential, it's crucial to provide them with capable receivers who can catch passes effectively. The New England team ought to consider acquiring such talents during this year's draft.
• EDGE: Vrabel’s comeback to Beantown is expected to bring a focus on defense, and New England will likely aim to strengthen its pass rush during the draft.
