The draft of the NFL 2025 is a few days, which brings a burst of news of news and potential movements, in particular for the Patriots of New England to choose N ° 4.
Although information at this stage of the project can be a smoke screen or a disinformation – as Bill Belichick explained it last year that the leaks do not come from teams that approximately 12 hours before the start of the first round – there is much to be noted without already writing in any selection to Sharpie.
“I think it’s wide open,” Peter Schrage d’Espn said on Tuesday on the choice of New England. “Whoever thinks of knowing what the Patriots do at four years old, saying that it is a slam dunk – they are full of it, because Eliot Wolf does not speak and I do not think that (Mike) Trobel is either.”
In addition to our Patriots Draft Rumors TrackerHere is what we have heard and saw around 48 hours since the start of Tour 1.
Will Campbell
The patriots will add an offensive tackle to the draft. They will also do it sooner than later – potentially from n ° 4 in total. If this is the path, the two topsisus tops available are the Will Campbell de LSU and the Armand Membou du Missouri.
Despite the faults of the Campbell structure because of its 21-centile arm length and the 7-centile strap, the Patriots liked it as a prospect throughout the pre-trafic process. They brought him for 30 visits and stayed in touch with him.
Where things are now, Campbell should be considered the favorite as the choice of New England in the first round.
“With the Patriots, I simply heard that the offensive tackle was going to be approached and I continually heard that it is Will Campbell’s place,” added Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network last week. “The feeling of talking to people is that Will Campbell is really appreciated inside this building in New England.”
Address at the edge
If the patriots choose to go elsewhere in addition to the offensive tackle in fourth row, addressing the tip could be the next online (assuming that WR / CB Travis Hunter is outside the board of directors). While Abdul Carter de Penn State would probably be the choice if he was on the board of directors, the “dynamic” rusher always seems to be heading for the New York giants in n ° 3.
This would lead to the Patriots, then potentially turning to Walker Milk of Georgia. A defender of seven versatile premiere who plays on the ball and on the edge, Walker is only 6 feet 1 inch and 243 pounds. But, he was congratulated for his intangible assets outside the field that led to many believers that he will be captain in the future.
The Patriots looked closely at Walker in the Pro Day of Georgia. They spent a lot of time with him and his teammate along the defensive line, Mykel Williams, and left impressed. Enough to choose Walker at No. 4? It always seems to be a long move right now, but it seems at least to be in the conversation at a given time in turn 1.
Williams, on the other hand, could be a candidate if he begins to slip and remains potentially available on day 2.
Running behind?
A real curve at the top of the draft would be the patriots who select the ball carrier Ashton Jeanty. Choosing Jeanty at n ° 4 would lead to the eighth ball carrier best paid in the league in terms of average annual value, which triggers the debate in the value of runners in today’s NFL.
“I think this is individualized according to the quality of the player, the talent and the impact he will have, his ability to play on the three stockings, his ability to catch football, his ability to create discrepancies and obviously, then what the coveted team last week. I think it is the most important,” said head coach Mike Trubel.
Although the player describes by Rébel is a match with the finalist of the Heisman trophy, who is widely considered the third best hope of this class, it seems more likely that the Patriots approach the position later. Jeanty himself told Pro Football Talk that he thought that as soon as he leaves the Board of Directors is a choice n ° 6.
Commercial conference
Speaking last week, Mike Truebel noted how telephone lines were expected at this stage of the project process. As the first round is getting closer, the lines now have more action through the league.
New England will entertain the offers on the moves, but they were not listed by Adam Schefter of ESPN as a team that was actively looking to return right now. They also do not seem to receive as many calls as the Browns and the Giants as the teams try to see if moving to Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter and potentially Jeanty is possible.
According to the course of the board of directors, the patriots could try to go from their second selection, however – something they tried and did not do last year. The Vikings of Minnesota, which enter the draft with only four selections, are a logical place at n ° 24 and a choice before the Houston Texans needing a line.
The Patriots also enter the week with a wide wide crowded receiver room, which could then see an additional body added in the draft. This, in turn, could conduct the third year receiver, Kayshon Boutte, “consumed consumable”, as Schefter said, as a candidate for a business or low level package on weekends.
Another player to potentially keep an eye on commercial conversations intensify, according to how the chips fall: the old choice of first round Cole Strange.
