For The Win

The official order of the 2025 NFL Draft won’t be decided until the confetti falls on Super Bowl 59. But after 17 weeks of the 2024 regular season, we’ve got a pretty good idea of who’ll be picking where — and what they need. That provides the framework for our latest mock draft, this time with the hapless New England Patriots at the top of the pecking order. New England already has its franchise quarterback in place — Drake Maye already looks like the franchise’s best passer since Tom Brady departed — which means its place at the top of the draft will be very much for sale to the highest bidder. This adds another wrinkle to a wildly imperfect science. So how is the 2025 NFL Draft shaping up, assuming no trades and chalk advancing through the playoffs? Let’s take a look.
