Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots have taken an aggressive approach to the NFL offseason. After a 4-13 record during the 2024 season, the Patriots have been working hard to add more talent to the roster.
In free agency to begin the offseason, New England added players like wide receiver Stefon Diggs, defensive tackle Milton Williams, offensive tackle Morgan Moses, cornerback Carlton Davis, linebacker Robert Spillane, and edge rusher Harold Landry.
Last week, the Patriots put together a strong class in the 2025 NFL draft.
During the first round, New England brought in Will Campbell to help protect Drake Maye. The Patriots backed up that move with running back TreVeyon Henderson in the second round and both wide receiver Kyle Williams and center Jared Wilson in the third round.
Other players to be drafted by New England were safety Craig Woodson, defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, edge rusher Bradyn Swinson, kicker Andres Borregales, offensive tackle Marcus Bryant, long snapper Julian Ashby, and defensive back Kobee Minor.
Following the offseason that the Patriots have put together so far, Kay Adams spoke out with an incredibly bold seven-word prediction for the 2025 season.
“The Patriots are going to the playoffs,” she said.
“The Patriots are going to the playoffs.”
After a strong NFL Draft, Kay thinks the Pats are a GO for the playoffs!

Looking back at the offseason, New England fans have a lot to be excited about. Simply hiring Vrabel to replace Jerod Mayo was a huge upgrade. Add in the roster movement and the Patriots have done well.
Damien Woody, a former Patriots player, spoke out and proclaimed quarterback Drake Maye as one of the biggest winners of the NFL draft.
“How about Drake Maye?” Woody said. “I really like what New England did. You go out there obviously at the No. 4 pick, you get Will Campbell. You get the left tackle out of LSU to protect the blind side. Then you come back in the second round, you get TreVeyon Henderson, the explosive running back from Ohio State to add some juice in the running game. Then in the third round you get Kyle Williams, the wide receiver from Washington State, who I think is going to [be] a factor in the passing game for the Pats.”
