The New England Patriots could look a lot different once the 2025 NFL season kicks off this fall. New England had a dreadful 2024 season, only winning four games during the regular season. As a result, the Patriots fired head coach Jerod Mayo and replaced him with franchise star Mike Vrabel.
New England has a talented head coach and a promising rookie quarterback to lead their offense. Now the Patriots simply need to rebuild the roster around Drake Maye and they'll have a chance at success in 2025.
The Patriots did not waste much time during free agency. New England added a ton of talent on both sides of the football. Unsurprisingly, Vrabel prioritized the defense in free agency.
The Patriots spent big money on a handful of presumed starters, including former Eagles star Milton Williams. They also brought in two more defensive starters in Carlton Davis III, who signed a $60 million contract, and linebacker Robert Spillane.
Now New England needs to focus on adding talent to their offense during the 2025 NFL Draft. The Patriots have nine total selections in the draft, including the fourth overall pick.
In a recent 2025 NFL mock draft, ESPN's Bill Barnwell created a trade proposal for each pick in the draft. He made an interesting proposal for the Patriots, which involved them trading away the fourth overall pick and acquiring a talented wide receiver.
But could this actually happen in real life?
Below we will explore Bill Barnwell's trade proposal that would send Brandon Aiyuk to the Patriots.
