The New England Patriots will enter the 2025 NFL Draft with glaring needs across the roster. The question is, which position should they address with the No. 4 overall pick?
If an elite talent like Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter or Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter falls to No. 4, it could be tough for Mike Vrabel and Co. to pass up the opportunity to add such a dynamic playmaker. The more likely scenario is that both Carter and Hunter are off the board, forcing the Patriots to shift their attention to the top tackle available.

Left tackle is arguably New England’s biggest need heading into the draft. Protecting young quarterback Drake Maye’s blindside should be the team’s No. 1 priority following a brutal 2024 season for the offensive line.
Fortunately for the Patriots, Will Campbell should be on the board when they’re on the clock. Campbell is widely considered the No. 1 offensive lineman in the class.
