EDITOR’S NOTE: MassLive’s Mark Daniels released his Ultimate Patriots Draft Guide for 2025 on Thursday, April 17. This story is an excerpt focused on the Quarterback class. On a scale from 1-to-10, the Patriots need for a quarterback in this draft falls at a 1. That’s a good thing for a rebuilding franchise. After drafting two quarterbacks last year and having Drake Maye for the foreseeable future, the team also signed veteran Josh Dobbs in free agency. Why would they draft a quarterback in 2025?

FOXBOROUGH – At this point, it’s obvious what the Patriots biggest need is heading into next week’s 2025 NFL Draft. In free agency, the Patriots added four projected defensive starters - edge rusher Harold Landry, defensive tackle Milton Williams, linebacker Robert Spillane, and cornerback Carlton Davis. On offense, they signed three projected starters in receiver Stefon Diggs, right tackle Morgan Moses, and center Garrett Bradbury. Not identified on that list is a left tackle.

This month, MassLive will look at the top four realistic options for the Patriots in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Mike Vrabel’s team’s hold the No. 4 pick. If they don’t trade down, these are the most realistic options. In a draft filled with talented defensive linemen, Graham is the best defensive tackle in this 2025 class. A First-team All-American, he finished with 45 tackles, seven for loss, and 3.5 sacks. Mason, 21, met with the Patriots at the Combine and had a pre-draft visit in New England.

There’s been plenty of debate this offseason about prospect Will Campbell’s arm length – or lack thereof. After his arms measured below 33 inches at the NFL Combine, there’s been speculation that Campbell is better suited at guard instead of tackle. At LSU, he started every game played at left tackle and was one of the best in college football. After his arms measured 32 5/8 inches, many wondered if that would affect his draft stock.

FOXBOROUGH – When Garrett Bradbury became a free agent this offseason, a friendly text chain on his phone had one common message:Come to New England. The veteran center spent the last six seasons in Minnesota, but a connection with Patriots quarterback Drake Maye made the Patriots an obvious landing spot for Bradbury. Or at least his brother-in-law, Jackson Kowar, and Maye’s older brother, Cole, thought so.
