With the 2025 NFL Draft approaching, the New England Patriots hold a strong position with three picks between Rounds 2 and 3. Their unfortunate 4-13 record last season grants them No. 37 overall in Round 2 and No. 69 and 77 overall in Round 3, allowing them to target specific positions such as wide receiver, running back, offensive tackle, and edge rusher. The article highlights Iowa State receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel as key targets due to their impressive performances leading up to the draft.
Higgins's size helped him out as a boundary receiver at Iowa State last year, recording 87 receptions for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024.
Higgins recorded a 4.47 40 and a 39-inch vertical. That combination of size and athleticism earned Higgins a 9.87 relative athletic score.
The Patriots will hold one of the first few picks in Rounds 2 (No. 37 overall) and 3 (No. 69 overall) due to their poor 4-13 record last season.
No matter what the Patriots do with the fourth overall pick, they'll still have plenty of needs to address.
