New England holds the fourth overall pick in round one.
The 2025 NFL Draft has officially arrived, and it won’t take long to see who the New England Patriots decide to add with the No. 4 overall pick.
Considering the 10-minute pick time in the first-round, New England is scheduled to be on the clock no later than 8:30 p.m. ET. That could even come several minutes earlier, as the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants may not take all of their allowed 10 minutes to submit their draft cards ahead of the Patriots.
New England has turned their draft cards in rather quickly the last two years in the first-round as they landed blue chip talents in Christian Gonzalez and Drake Maye. This year’s selection may not come as easy, especially if team’s are calling with potential trade offers.
Assuming the Patriots remain at No. 4 it would be no surprise to see reinforcements added there — and throughout the rest of the draft — around Maye on the offensive side of the ball.
Patriots draft picks
Round 1 • Pick 4 (4) — 10 minutes per pick
Round 2 • Pick 6 (38) — 7 minutes per pick
Round 3 • Pick 5 (69), Pick 13 (77) — 5 minutes per pick
Round 4 • Pick 4 (106) — 5 minutes per pick
Round 5 • Pick 6 (144), Pick 35 (171) — 5 minutes per pick
Round 7 • Pick 4 (220), Pick 22 (238) — 4 minutes per pick
Who the Patriots will pick in Round 1, or any other round, remains a mystery. The oddsmakers believe it will be offensive tackle Will Campbell, though: he is the betting favorite to be selected fourth overall, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
