The New England Patriots' loss against the Buffalo Bills may have irritated some fans who are simply tired of the team's woeful performances of late, but there was a silver lining that could help this team build a much more sustainable roster around budding quarterback Drake Maye. The Patriots' loss and Las Vegas Raiders' win helped New England jump up to No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft order, while the Raiders fell all the way down to No. 6 overall. If the Raiders want to select their next franchise quarterback in a weak class, they may need to trade up. The Patriots could be an ideal trade partner for the Raiders. Las Vegas moves up to land their quarterback of the future, while the Patriots can use high-quality assets to beef up what may be the worst overall roster in the league ahead of a pivotal 2025 season.
