The New England Patriots ran up their 2025 NFL draft dart throws by selecting 11 rookies on the board. It was a necesarry haul for a team that had too many holes to count when entering the draft.
While the team is far from a finished product, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and lead personnel executive Eliot Wolf deserve a pat on the back for at least raising the floor of the talent level. The rookie acquisitions, combined with a strong free agency, has created a team that looks like it could be competitive and win multiple football games on paper.
