The New England Patriots made a big splash in Free Agency by adding wide receiver, Stefon Diggs. Diggs is a great weapon for second year quarterback, Drake Maye, but New England shouldn’t be done adding weapons this off-season. There are quite a few potential fits for the Patriots at receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft, but which ones would be the best complement to Stefon Diggs? Travis Hunter, Colorado The first name that comes to mind as a great Patriots fit, is the best receiver in the entire Draft, Travis Hunter. Hunter is an explosive athlete that can turn just…

The New England Patriots recently had Stefon Diggs in for a Free Agent Visit. This had many Patriots fans excited for the possible impact that Diggs would have in Foxborough. Unfortunately, Diggs left Gillette Stadium without a new deal, and it is reported that the two sides will stay in touch. If New England’s Front Office can work some magic and get a deal done with Diggs, they could potentially create a dynamic duo at receiver in April, if Travis Hunter falls to pick four in the NFL Draft. What could that look like in a Josh McDaniels Offense? How…
The New England Patriots have been off to a hot start in 2025 NFL Free Agency. They made some great signings with players like Harold Landry and Robert Spillane. However, they also proved many media personalities wrong with a couple big splash signings. There has been a narrative around New England for a long time that they refuse to spend money on big time free agents. That was quickly proven wrong on day one of Free Agency. The Patriots made defensive tackle Milton Williams a very rich man with contract of 4 years for 104 million dollars. They also spent…
The New England Patriots have a lot of work to do this off-season. However, Ian Rapoport just reported that Seattle Seahawks receiver, DK Metcalf has requested a trade. If the Patriots are serious about getting Drake Maye a weapon, they should immediately be on the phone with Seattle. Metcalf is a true number one receiver, which is what New England has needed for years. Now that they have their franchise quarterback on a rookie deal, they should not hesitate to get a star like Metcalf. DK Metcalf is the definition of a coverage dictating receiver. Opposing defenses will have to…
The New England Patriots have to nail the 2025 off-season if they hope to be competitive next year. One of the best ways to do that is by hitting on Draft picks. Obviously with New England’s number four pick, they will likely target an offensive tackle, or a true star in Penn State linebacker, Abdul Carter. However, with their second round pick, they have some flexibility to move around the Draft board. If they are willing to move back up into the first round from pick thirty-eight, then they might be able to secure another very good player in Emeka…
The New England Patriots had quite a few people in attendance at the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl Practices this past week. Multiple front office personnel, as well as Head Coach Mike Vrabel traveled to Mobile Alabama to watch some of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. There were quite a few standouts over the week, but which of them could be potential Patriots when the NFL Draft rolls around in April? Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami Xavier Restrepo showed he could be an incredible slot receiver at the NFL level throughout his 2024 season. Many people believed he could…
The New England Patriots have a huge off-season ahead of them, with Free Agency as well as the NFL Draft. With Head Coach Mike Vrabel, and coordinators in place, what could their Draft class look like? The main goal of the NFL Draft is getting good football players in the building, and with that being said, here is my first Patriots Mock Draft of the off-season. Round 1, Pick 4: Abdul Carter, OLB, Penn State Abdul Carter is considered to be the second best prospect in this Draft class behind Travis Hunter. So when it comes to getting good football…
The Oregon Ducks are currently ranked as the number one team in the nation, but have we seen their full potential yet? The defense has been firing on all cylinders, but the offense hasn’t been thriving the way it should be. Part of this could be due to star receiver Tez Johnson out with an injury, but still, the offense hasn’t looked like the best in the country. Once the playoffs begin, and we see a fully healthy Ducks offense, will they show why they need to be feared throughout college football? Only time will tell. Best receiver duo in…
The New England Patriots offensive line might be the worst unit in the entire NFL. After Sunday’s loss to the Miami Dolphins, it is clear that New England’s front office needs to use every possible resource this off-season on upgrading the line. Not only to put a more competitive team on the field, but to also protect their rookie quarterback, Drake Maye. Maye looks like he is the future of the Patriots franchise, but he is pretty much the entire offense at the moment. He is getting pressured and sacked way too much, but with a huge amount of cap…
The New England Patriots are currently 3-8, and many fans are already looking forward to the 2025 NFL Draft. New England will most likely have a decent draft pick if they continue to lose games, and if that’s the case, who should be their main target? There are quite a few factors to consider, starting with Free Agency. If the Patriots sign a top receiver such as Tee Higgins, then maybe they are more likely to consider one of the top tackle options in the Draft. Regardless of their strategy, the main goal needs to be getting talented football players…
