Joe Milton, Patriots turn NFL draft order upside down with victory over Buffalo

Joe Milton has no time for your tankathon talk. The New England Patriots' Week 18 quarterback showed off his game and his skills against Buffalo, and cost his team this year's No. 1 draft pick as a result. Tennessee swooped in — in a manner of speaking — and claimed the prize for itself.

Fortunately for New England, losing the top pick in the 2025 draft isn't as devastating as it might be for other teams; the Patriots are set at quarterback for the foreseeable future with Drake Maye. But still, it would've been nice for New England to have that draft capital to deal away.
