Also deviating from what others project for the Patriots, Edwards has New England trading the No. 4 pick to the New York Jets in his mock draft. As the Patriots fall down to No. 7 and pick Walker, they get a future second-round pick in the deal, according to Edwards.

The New England Patriots have a giant hole at left tackle, and should be adding a blindside protector (or two) sometime during the 2025 NFL Draft.
