The New England Patriots entered the 2025 NFL Draft with nine selections, including two acquired from prior trades under former coach Bill Belichick. Notably, these picks originated from trades involving kicker Nick Folk and cornerback J.C. Jackson. The Patriots skillfully maneuvered their draft picks, ultimately trading the seventh-round choices to land several players, including kicker Andres Borregales and long snapper Julian Ashby. These strategic moves illustrate how seemingly minor trades can influence a team’s future and roster makeup.
The trades made by the Patriots two years ago may have seemed minor, but they turned into key movements that reshaped the team's roster for the upcoming seasons.
By securing picks in lower rounds, the Patriots not only managed to turn those selections into more strategic choices but also brought in players who could significantly impact their performance.
