Drake Maye weighs in on what Patriots should do with No. 4 draft pick
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye kept it simple when asked what the team should do with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft.
"That early, I think you take the best player available," Maye told Kay Adams on the "Up & Adams Show." "Any one of those guys. I don't want to put my foot in my mouth here. So whoever wants to come play in New England and win some football games."
The biggest need on the Patriots' roster currently is at the left tackle position.
However, would the team be willing to reach for a player at that position, even if it means passing on possible generational talents, such as Penn State's Abdul Carter or Colorado's Travis Hunter?
There will be opportunities to draft for need later down the board, but like Maye said, it would make more sense for the team to focus on the top talent available with their first pick.
Of course, that's assuming Carter or Hunter will still be on the board.
It all comes down to what the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants do ahead of the Patriots. If both Carter and Hunter are gone, the Patriots could pivot to an offensive tackle or attempt to trade down for more picks.
