POLL: What should the Patriots do with the No. 1 overall draft pick?

The New England Patriots would own the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft if the season ended today.

But what should they do with the pick?

Everyone will have a strong opinion on how the Patriots should approach the draft if their current position stays intact. Some would argue that the team should draft a top receiver, like Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.

Others would prefer the team focus more on the offensive line, particularly at the left tackle position. LSU’s Will Campbell and Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr. appear to be the top offensive line options in the draft.

The Patriots also can consider trading the top draft pick to another quarterback-needy team. They could end up moving down only a few spots to pick up an extra first-round pick for 2026, along with multiple other picks.

If they moved down, they’d possibly still be within reach of Campbell or Banks, or if they wanted a receiver, Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan would be the next likely option behind Hunter.

What should the Patriots do with the No. 1 overall pick? Be sure and vote in our poll below.
