The Patriots face a fair share of pressure to nail their 2025 draft, but Mike Vrabel and company will benefit from a significant alleviating factor in late April.
Unlike years past, New England will enter this draft with the utmost confidence in its quarterback situation. Drake Maye lived up to expectations after he was selected No. 3 overall last year, and the future for the young signal-caller in Foxboro, Mass., looks very bright.
Maye’s prospects of becoming a legitimate star quarterback very well might influence how the Patriots approach the 2025 draft. Longtime draft expert Todd McShay suggested how that could happen in a conversation with Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
