Mock drafts for the 2025 NFL draft are already in full swing, and ESPN’s Field Yates has the New England Patriots making a shake-up at the top of the draft board.
Yates has the Patriots owning the No. 1 overall pick and trading it to the New York Giants. The entire trade package wasn't revealed, but one of the picks would be the Giants' No. 6 pick in 2025. Yates has the Patriots using that pick to select Michigan cornerback Will Johnson, while the Giants take Georgia quarterback Carson Beck at No. 1.
Johnson is one of the best corners in all of college football and coming off a 2023 season that saw him tally 27 tackles and four interceptions.
