Experts have Patriots trending up in NFL power rankings entering Week 1

Just how much does head coach Mike Vrabel move the needle for the New England Patriots in 2025?

Quite a bit, based on a recent sampling of NFL experts.

Coming off consecutive four-win seasons, the Patriots made moves to fortify just about every glaring weakness. They used the No. 4 overall pick on a potential franchise left tackle in Will Campbell, and doubled down on the offensive line both in the draft (guard Jared Wilson) and free agency (right tackle Morgan Moses).

They added much-needed talent at the skill positions in wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Kyle Williams, and Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson.
