The Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Fourth in the draft order are the New England Patriots.
With the Titans looking to possibly draft someone other than a quarterback, where does that leave the Pats three spots down?
“[The Titans] are not locked in to taking a quarterback at [No.] 1. That is not what New England wanted to hear,” ESPN insider Ada Schefter said, via WEEI Afternoons.

New England already has its quarterback of the future in Drake Maye, so they are likely looking for the best player available.
Two of the best non-quarterback prospects in this year’s draft are Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter and Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter.
If the Titans don’t draft a quarterback, they likely will select one of those talented players the Patriots may want.
With Mike Vrabel taking over as the new head coach, the Patriots are looking to get back into contention for both the playoffs and Super Bowl.
Drafting a game-changing prospect in the first round could go a long way toward putting them in a position to do just that.
New England is going to be a team to watch leading up to the draft in April.
