The New England Patriots have continued their free agency spending spree by signing Stefon Diggs. The 31-year-old wide receiver joined New England on a three-year deal worth $69M that includes $26M in guaranteed money.
The addition of Diggs, while not a long-term solution at wide receiver, does diminish the immediate need for the position. New England’s need at left tackle does still remain, however, as former sixth-round pick Vederian Lowe is currently projected to start.
These are both factors to consider when assessing New England’s options with the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Here are four options for the Patriots.
Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter
The case for New England to draft Hunter is very simple. Selecting the best player available is the optimal team building strategy in the draft, and Hunter has a strong case for that distinction.
The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner is a very unique talent who started on both sides of the ball for Colorado. Regardless of what Hunter chooses to be his primary position, his combination of ball skills, fluid movement ability and instincts give him a great chance at finding success.
