The No. 4 spot on the draft board is still a premium draft selection, and the Patriots will have a crack at one of the top-four players in college football. It might make them less likely to trade the pick now out of fear of missing on a potential game-changer right out of the gates.

With the 2024 regular season over, the top 18 picks of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft have been set. FOX Sports' Ben Arthur and Henry McKenna mock those selections.
