The Patriots head into a draft where they have a great opportunity to add talent following a productive free agency for head coach Mike Vrabel, EVP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf, and company.
My preconceived notions about the 2025 NFL Draft at the beginning of the process were that this was a weaker rookie class. Mostly, drafts are labeled "weak" when there's a lack of blue-chip talent in the first round, particularly at the quarterback position. Although that's true to some extent this year, I've come to appreciate this draft for what it is: a starter draft, not a star draft, with starter-level talent at certain positions into day three.
