All of the moves the Patriots have made so far during the offseason, all of coaching changes, free agent signings, and roster decisions, have led to here: the start of 2025 NFL draft.
Robert Kraft hired Mike Vrabel to replace one-and-done Jerod Mayo. He hired Vrabel, his coaching staff and personnel people to turn the NFL’s worst roster into a formidable contender.
While free agency is part of the equation, that turnaround won’t happen without a run of successful drafts, starting with this one.
Good teams build through the draft. They land foundational players.
