New England Patriots draft picks tracker: Updated list of 2025 selections, next pick predictions

The Patriots endured a dour campaign in the 2024 NFL season. They might be better for it in 2025.

New England toiled through a loss-laden slate, falling to the cellar of the AFC East standings...again. Jerod Mayo was summarily — and perhaps, controversially — dismissed, swept aside in favor of another former Patriots defender, Mike Vrabel.

A few months on, New England's future appears to beckon in the distance. Not because the Patriots are good right now — they're most certainly not — but they have a few pieces that look well-equipped to make an impact in 2025 beyond, spearheaded by former No. 3 overall pick, Drake Maye.

Maye landed Pro Bowl honors after a solid rookie campaign, and although his numbers weren't mind-boggling, his intangibles suggest that a breakout could be on the cards before too long. He just needs a few reinforcements to help him get there. The 2025 NFL Draft could prove a boon in that regard, with a litany of players expected to make an impact right out of the gate.

So, just who will New England land? The Sporting News is tracking each of the Patriots' 2025 NFL Draft selections, from the first through the seventh round. Follow along below.

Patriots NFL Draft needs

• Offensive line: With Maye poised to hold the reins of New England's offense for the next decade, the Patriots would do well to find sentries who can protect him in the pocket. Maye's 9.14% sack rate was the fifth-highest mark in the league, trailing only Deshaun Watson, Will Levis, Caleb Williams, and Jalen Hurts. If New England wants Maye to make a splash as a sophomore, it should invest in its offensive line.
• Wide receiver: Maye's maiden season proved all the more impressive because he was lacking anything resembling a No. 1 option at the X. Demario Davis was the Pats' leading wide receiver in 2024, corralling a paltry 621 yards. If you want to get the best out of a hurler, you have to surround them with pass-catching talent. New England should attempt to acquire some in this year's draft. 
• EDGE: Vrabel's return to Beantown should precipitate a defense-first mindset, and New England will certainly look to upgrade its pass rush at some point in the draft.
