There’s good news out of the Senior Bowl when it comes to the New England Patriots ' outlook in the 2025 NFL Draft. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that “the building sentiment from scouts and executives” is that Miami quarterback Cam Ward is likely to go No. 1 overall.

For a two-decade stretch, the New England Patriots were the model of stability. While tweaks were made to the roster on a given year, the head coach and quarterback combo was a constant, which helped them acheive unprecedented success over that time.

The Patriots should have a good selection of players to choose from by the time they're on the clock in round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

New England Patriots coaching assistant Matthew Slater will not be part of Mike Vrabel’s staff, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Slater served the role of special assistant to the head coach on Jerod Mayo’s staff.

Two-time NFL head coach Doug Marrone, who most recently was at Boston College as a Senior Analyst for Football Strategy, is joining the Patriots' coaching staff. Marrone's specific position is TBA. His history/background w/ OL play is notable. (h/t @PatsPro_21, @JPasteris_NFL)
