Most 2025 NFL mock drafts have the New England Patriots selecting highly, and the latest mock draft from ESPN’s Matt Miller is no different. However, this one does have some fireworks in the form of an early blockbuster trade.
In this scenario, Miller has the Patriots initially slotted with the first overall pick, but they agree to a trade with the New York Giants to move down from the top spot.
In exchange for the No. 1 overall pick, the Patriots receive the No. 6 overall pick, a 2025 second-round selection, a 2026 first-round selection and a 2027 second-round selection.
