Patriots 53-man roster projection after 2025 NFL draft

The New England Patriots finished the 2025 NFL draft with five draft-day trades and 11 picks.

They aggressively filled out their roster with undrafted free agents and developmental depth, signaling a bold shift under the new leadership of Mike Vrabel, Eliot Wolf and Ryan Cowden.

With rookie minicamp on the horizon, it's clear that New England is focused on building a new identity — one that brings youth, energy and upside into a locker room undergoing a complete philosophical reset.

Here's an early look at how the 53-man roster could take shape:

Quarterbacks (3): Drake Maye, Josh Dobbs, Ben Wooldridge
