Patriots Draft Preview Get Ready For The Big Event

Okay, so, the Patriots’ season is wrapping up, right? Time to chat about the 2025 draft. I spent some time digging into this. Started by looking at the team’s needs. It’s no secret the offensive line is a weak spot.

First thing I did was check out who might be available. The name Travis Hunter came up, but seems like a long shot. So, focused on more realistic options. There are some good offensive tackles out there, like this guy Will Campbell from LSU, or Kelvin Banks Jr. from Texas. Also, noticed a wide receiver, Tetairoa McMillan, from Arizona. Seems like Campbell is the smarter pick though, given the team’s biggest need.

• Checked team needs.
• Researched potential draft picks.
• Compared players based on team needs.

Then I moved on to looking at mock drafts and expert opinions. Found a few interesting articles. One mentioned the possibility of the Patriots moving up from the No. 3 pick to No. 2. That got me thinking about different scenarios. I made some notes about that and watched some videos from Kay Adams, Mike Reiss, and others talking about the Patriots draft.

After that, I went deeper, I started looking at specific positions. One article I found talked about pass-rush prospects, like Kyle Kennard from South Carolina. Another discussed running backs like Raheim “Rocket” Sanders, also from South Carolina.

Finally, I put together my own little mock draft, just for fun, I did this based on everything I’d read and watched. It was a long process, took a few hours. Honestly, it felt like I was there, making the picks with the team. It’s all speculation, of course, but it was fun to pretend to be in the Patriots’ front office, even just for a little while. But hey, it was a fun way to kill some time and learn more about the draft process.

Some takeaways from my little deep dive:

• Offensive tackle is priority one.
• Moving up in the draft could be huge.
• There are some interesting prospects beyond the first round.

All in all, it was a solid afternoon of draft research. I feel like I’ve got a pretty good handle on what the Patriots might do. We’ll see how it all plays out, though!
