Patriots Weigh Draft Options, Potential Parsons Trade

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the New England Patriots, holding the fourth overall pick, are considering top prospects like Penn State's Abdul Carter, despite his recent injuries. Carter is projected as a top-five pick and is expected to strengthen any team's defense. Speculation suggests the Patriots might trade for Cowboys' pass rusher Micah Parsons, which would involve a significant exchange of draft picks. With multiple Day 2 picks, the Patriots also aim to address needs at wide receiver and other key positions. Head coach Mike Vrabel and quarterback Drake Maye are focused on improving the team's performance following last season's struggles.
