It's possible for the Patriots to move up to the No. 1 pick, but that would require them losing to the Bills, combined with the Raiders and Giants both winning.There could be a pretty big difference in the value between the No. 2 and No. 3 picks this year, and that's because the 2025 class only has two quarterback prospects -- Miami's Cam Ward and Colorado's Shadeur Sanders -- worth taking with a top-five pick.
Teams are more likely to trade up for a potential star quarterback than a highly rated wide receiver or cornerback.
