The New England Patriots gave a lackluster performance in a 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but the Week 12 result did improve their position in the first round order for the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Patriots entered the week with the No. 6 pick, and they now sit at No. 4 overall.
A couple results around the league helped the Patriots in regards to the draft order. The Cleveland Browns earning a surprise win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night was huge for the Patriots. That win allowed New England to move ahead of Cleveland.
