The New England Patriots will have less options available to them with the No. 4 overall pick than they had with the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
They lost the coveted top spot on the draft board after defeating the Buffalo Bills in the Week 18 regular season finale. That now puts them behind the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants in the drafting order.
So what now?
The No. 4 spot on the draft board is still a premium draft selection, and the Patriots will have a crack at one of the top-four players in college football.
