The New England Patriots have the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, so that means there will be some teams interested in trading up. 

And at the NFL Annual League Meetings, Mike Vrabel said that the Patriots are open to have those discussions about their first-round pick. 

"I think we'd be open to everything we felt could help the football team," Vrabel said on Monday morning. "I think that's what we have to do. Whether it's stick and pick a player or if someone has an offer for us, I think we'd be willing to listen. But there's a lot of options that we have to consider that could help the team." 

So, with that, Eliot Wolf was asked in an interview with 98.5 the SportsHub if New England has already received any trade calls about the No. 4 overall pick. 

“Nothing official. No,” Wolf revealed. “We’ve had a few conversations, but a little bit early for that.” 

In 2024, Wolf got a lot of calls regarding the Patriots No. 3 overall pick. But much of that was because of all the teams in need of a quarterback. However, this year, it's certainly not the same. 

“I think it was a little bit different,” Wolf said. “The plethora of quarterbacks last year made it unique. I don’t know that there’s that (situation) this year. The two quarterbacks that are going to go high (Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders) are really good players, but just the volume. What was it, six last year that went in the first round? I don’t think we’ll see that again for awhile.”

However, if the Patriots do decide to stick with the No. 4 overall pick, there is no telling what's going to happen with the three teams in front of them. 

"No. Do you have any idea," Vrabel responded to the reporter who asked that exact question. "You tell me who goes 1, 2, and 3, and I'll tell you who goes 4."
