Official 2025 Mock Draft Game (Discussion ONLY) Thread

[Steve102]

I like his size speed combo at 6'4 with a 4.48 timed 40. I think I would like to see a little bit more production and polish from an early round 3 choice.

If he's around in round 4 or 5 could be a good develop and hope he pans out prospect.

But yeah feel free to put out more names. Who knows, someone might take him if the Patriots forum vote doesn't go to him in round 3.

I really want a guy with a big catch radius this time around.

 

[Steve102]

Henderson and Royals are good value here.

On Royals, he scored 15 TDs in 2023 which is comfortably the most amongst 2025 WRs. Tet and Tez Johnson were next on 10 each. And in 2024, before his injury, he was averaging over 100 yards per game. I really like Royals but I do think you can find a similar player later in Kyle Williams.

The prospects I'd be targeting in the 3rd:

Josaiah Stewart
Kyle Kennard
Jack Sawyer
Dylan Sampson
Mason Taylor
Kevin Winston Jr
Jaylin Noel
Tate Ratledge
Wyatt Milum
Andrew Mukuba

Wyatt Milum went end of R2.

I just edited out the two guards because I had forgotten how rounds 1 & 2 went.

go vote for position here:

Thread 'Vote for Pats Position Choice at Pick 69'

Mar 19, 2025

they've already addressed OT in Rounds 1 & 2 so I'm removing that from the choices.

Tomorrow morning I will post another poll with players from whichever position has the most votes.

I'm the guy over in the corner of the war room who didn't fist bump the Simmons pick in R2 because I wanted Higgins. Everyone else is going to be "you could have had __________" now. Probably should have ChatGTP update my resume, cuz I am going to carry this for some time.

 

[borisman]

I think Tory Horton should be in the running for one of our 3rd round picks. He had a injury last year but before that had 2 solid seasons, including a breakout in 2023. He did blaze at the combine. But I certainly don't think there's anyone that we RUN the card up for.
I'm also ok with a RB like Henderson. He's solid and this is a deep group.
Defense could still be an option as well. All three levels could still use an upgrade or depth. A pass rusher is a need. We still need players everywhere.
Let the voting begin )))))

Edit: sorry if this is a GM's Only discussion thread.

I would love Higgins at 38, but the value of Josh Simmons was just too great there.

Now they've added Bradbury, I doubt they'll go OL 1-2. (yes,. I know it happened after our Simmons pick). If you look at the line now, LT, Strange, Bradbury, Onwenu, Moses... I could see them going back into R1 if Hunter falls to #4 for best LT available and then WR with whatever pick is next. Saw a couple fresh mocks yesterday that went Ward, Carter, Sanders, Hunter.

I'm in the WR at 4, OT at 38 camp probably with a trade up from 38. I could handle Membou-Higgins if Hunter is gone. I like Campbell but I do think he's a guard now so I'm not that keen on him at LT.

Hunter-Conerly would be the ideal for me.

So after pick 77 are we done? Or does anyone have interest in continuing?

 

[VJCPatriot]

I Would be up for round 4. But I think interesting players kind of run out after that. It will be mostly a dart throwing exercise.

No one's judging lol well maybe me but there's a participation trophy at the end!

Why not go to the Pats pick in round 4 and then see who wants to continue? If necessary you could re-appoint the GMs after that point if some don’t want to continue.

 

[jboston19]

Im fine continuing for a while. I think it’d be an interesting way to discover late round player names.

Yeah I'll just need to tighten the clock to probably 4 hours between picks during the day so we ensure that we get at least 4-5 picks in a day. When the time is up it's up for grabs to whoever wants it.
