With the early days of free agency behind us, New England’s 2025 roster has begun to come together. The team used the opening days of the open market to add starters at right tackle, defensive tackle, cornerback, and linebacker, and bolster the depth at wide receiver, quarterback, safety, and along the offensive and defensive lines. The Patriots also moved on from center David Andrews, releasing him with a failed physical designation.
With some of the key pieces set in place, we can more accurately assess New England’s needs in the draft. High-end talent at wide receiver and a legitimate starter at left tackle remain the highest priorities, with shoring up the offensive line at left guard and center just behind that.
