New England Patriots 2025 NFL Draft Odds; Who Will New England Select At Pick 4?
With the NFL regular season officially done and the 2025 NFL Draft soon to be here, BetMassachusetts.com has updated probable odds on who the New England Patriots might take with its overall No. 4 selection.
The Patriots find themselves in brand new territory after a dismal 2024 season across Massachusetts sports betting. Gone is Bill Belichick’s heir apparent, Jerod Mayo, who exits as head coach after a single season in Foxborough after playing for the Pats before joining Belichick's staff in 2019.
It's safe to say the second Patriots draft without Belichick is arguably the franchise's most important in recent memory, as the team has the No. 4 overall pick, behind the Giants, Browns, and Titans. That means the path is clear for the Patriots to potentially select offensive pieces that complement last year’s first round pick, quarterback Drake Maye, in 2025 and beyond.
Here are our updated odds on who the Patriots will draft with the No. 4 overall pick:

New England Patriots Draft Odds

Kelvin Banks Jr. | OT | Texas | +350 | 22.2% |
Will Campbell | OT | LSU | +400 | 20.0% |

Our top pick for New England at No. 4 this year is Texas Longhorns’ star offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr., who beat out fellow OT Will Campbell of LSU at +350 (to Campbell’s +400 odds of winding up with the Patriots), while Arizona Wildcats wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is next up at +400.
Both Banks and Campbell played key roles in the trenches for two of the nation’s top scoring offenses this year, with the Longhorns ranking 21st nationally in points per game (34.3) while the Tigers were 47th, at 30.5.
McMillan thrived for a mediocre, 4-8 Arizona team, with 84 catches, 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns in Tucson this season, while other potential New England draftees Will Johnson of Michigan (+700), Heisman Trophy winning wideout/cornerback Travis Hunter and Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter are listed at +1100 each.
Whichever player gets picked by New England fourth overall joins a club on the heels of successive 4-13 campaigns, but with a young QB that can be built around, which is ever so valuable in today’s pass-first NFL landscape.
New England Patriots Draft Needs 2025
Patriots’ Biggest Position Needs |
CB, OT, EDGE, WR, DL |
Given New England’s dismal on-field record over the last two years (going 8-26 overall), it might be easier to spotlight the positions that the club doesn’t need help with this draft cycle. For now, we’ll spotlight cornerback, offensive tackle, edge rusher, wide receiver and defensive linemen as the key positions that New England needs to target come April’s NFL Draft.
Luckily for the Patriots, there’s a bounty of quality NCAA prospects at each of those five positions, which should allow New England to add a player that can contribute right away when they make their pick in late April.

New England Patriots 2024 Draft Selections
Round | Pick | Name | Position | College |
1st | 3rd | Drake Maye | QB | North Carolina |
2nd | 37th | Ja’Lynn Polk | WR | Washington |
3rd | 68th | Caedan Wallace | OL | Penn State |
4th | 103rd | Layden Robinson | OL | Texas A&M |
4th | 110th | Javon Baker | WR | UCF |
6th | 180th | Marcellas Dial | DB | South Carolina |
6th | 193rd | Joe Milton | QB | Tennessee |
7th | 231st | Jaheim Bell | TE | Florida State |
Last year, New England made eight selections across the seven-round draft, highlighted by third overall pick Drake Maye out of UNC, who played in 13 games as a rookie, throwing for 15 touchdowns to 10 interceptions and adding 2,276 passing yards in his first NFL season.
Throw in Washington wideout Ja’Lynn Polk, who added 12 catches for 87 yards and two scores as a rookie, along with prospects like offensive linemen Caeden Wallace, Layden Robinson, Javon Baker and Marcellas Dial, who combined to play in 47 games between them as rookies, while seventh round tight end selection Jaheim Bell added 15 starts for the club, and you have the makings of a productive draft class for the Patriots to build around.
Suppose New England can follow up that blueprint from 2024 this spring. In that case, there’s no reason the Patriots can’t take the next step in their franchise-wide evolution, getting back to the level of play that football fans in the Northeast came to expect during Belichick’s glory days with the club.
If the Patriots can have a successful draft and offseason, it may prove more fun for Patriots betting fans once again. Be sure to check out our best Massachusetts sportsbook promo codes.
