2025 NFL mock draft roundup: Post-Combine predictions for Patriots originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots badly need a No. 1 wide receiver for quarterback Drake Maye to target next season and well into the future.

The 2025 NFL draft class is pretty weak at wide receiver.
