New England Patriots Mock Draft Roundup 2.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, we will update our New England Patriots Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the New England Patriots from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Patriots:

NFL.com — Eric Edholm

4. Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan

Bigger holes elsewhere, perhaps, but I suspect the Patriots address many of those in free agency and come into the draft less burdened by need. Graham feels like a foundational piece for Mike Vrabel.

CBS Sports — Josh Edwards

4. Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Colorado gets a two-way talent to support Drake Maye entering his second season. Travis Hunter may not be evaluated as highly as last year's top wide receivers, but his versatility to play both ways makes him more valuable.

4. Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

New head coach Mike Vrabel's personal experience as a two-way player could help the Patriots maximize this Heisman Trophy winner's potential as a combo playmaker in the NFL.

Yahoo! — Tice/McDonald

4. Will Campbell, OT, LSU

New England seemingly found its quarterback in Drake Maye, who was stellar as a rookie last season. Now, the Patriots need to find serious help on the offensive line in order to make sure he has the most help possible to see his career through. Campbell is a Day 1 starter at left tackle who will be a nice building block on New England's mission to improve the offensive line.

The Athletic — Baumgardner/Dochterman

4. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

I'd like to write "Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State" here but, incredibly, we're still two years away from Smith hearing his name called. So, the choice for New England comes down to a playmaker for Drake Maye or a defender. There's no real wrong answer — but if you have a young quarterback, it's best to provide him a receiver with whom he can grow.

No Patriots receiver caught more than three touchdown passes last season and only one averaged more than 11 yards per catch. McMillan has Mike Evans-like skills, which would be helpful for Josh McDaniels' remodeled offense under new coach Mike Vrabel.

EDSFootball — Kevin Hanson

4. Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Should the Patriots use this pick on defense or to help Drake Maye? Yes!

While Hunter won the Heisman Trophy (among other Player of the Year awards), he's such a rare two-way prospect that he won both the Fred Biletnikoff Award and the Chuck Bednarik Award, given to the nation's top receiver and defensive player, respectively. An ironman who rarely came off the field, Hunter will most likely be a full-time cornerback at the NFL level and a part-time receiver, but he has elite athleticism and ball skills to make plays on both sides of the ball. Christian Gonzalez and Hunter would form one of the league's best young cornerback duos, and he'd instantly be the team's best receiver (even if only part time).

The 33rd Team — Kyle Crabbs

4. Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan

New England's identity under Mike Vrabel will feel familiar. The Patriot Way appears to live on in Foxborough and Vrabel's defensive background looms large with the team's direction this offseason. The team needs to get more physical and talented in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Mason Graham, paired with a healthy Christian Barmore, would give New England a powerhouse duo to serve as the engine of their defense under Vrabel.

NFL.com — Daniel Jeremiah

4. Will Campbell, OT, LSU

The Patriots must help Drake Maye on the offensive line. I see Campbell as a safe, steady player who is still improving.

ESPN — Mel Kiper

4. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

Carter is instinctive and fast, and he seems to always be around the ball. He converted from off-ball linebacker to the edge this season and dominated to the tune of 12 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss. For a New England team that struggled to get pressure, Carter would be a massive addition. New coach Mike Vrabel could move him around and use his disruptive traits to improve the Patriots' league-low sack count (28).

New England also has glaring holes at receiver and on the offensive line. If Hunter is still on the board, he fits. Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan makes some sense, too. And there's a shot the Pats will get an offer to trade back, which would put them in a better spot to take one of the top offensive tackles. But Carter -- my No. 2 prospect -- could take this defense to another level.
