The offseason is going to move quickly for the New England Patriots, a byproduct of playing into February.

The NFL Scouting Combine is only a week and a half away. Patriots scouts will convene there for interviews with prospects. Free agency follows after that. Then the draft.

So it won’t be long until the Patriots begin to revamp a roster that reached the Super Bowl. But they have a lot of needs — and a lot of draft picks. So with the combine on the horizon, here’s our first mock draft of the season, making a selection for all 11 picks they currently own.

Round 1, pick No. 31: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama

Even with the Patriots committed to keeping Will Campbell at left tackle, and even with the possibility that Morgan Moses returns (and, thus, does not retire) to play right tackle, tackle could still be a need for the Patriots after the playoff woes on the offensive line.

A pick like Proctor would give them some flexibility looking ahead. If Campbell plays great at left tackle next season, then Proctor simply becomes the right tackle. If Campbell struggles, you could slide him inside to guard while putting Proctor at left tackle. If Moses struggles or suffers an injury, Proctor could play right away on the right side.

Proctor has been a can’t-miss prospect for years. He’s 6-foot-7 with long arms and was the fifth-ranked recruit in the country coming out of high school.

Round 2: Derrick Moore, Edge, Michigan

Free agency will be telling about the Patriots’ plan at edge rusher, but they have some tough decisions to make. Harold Landry dealt with injuries down the stretch. K’Lavon Chaisson had the best season of his career, but it’s not a given that the Pats will re-sign him.

They could also look for star power here, potentially even in a trade for Maxx Crosby. But if the Patriots don’t bolster the position via a trade or free agency, Moore would be a good candidate as the kind of edge rusher who could play all three downs.

Round 3: Ja’Kobi Lane, WR, USC

Lane would give the Patriots a legitimate and big (6-foot-4) outside-the-numbers wide receiver, which would allow them to play Stefon Diggs more in the slot. Mack Hollins plays a similar role, but Lane would offer much more upside.

Lane was great in the red zone in college, which could help a Patriots team that doesn’t have a ton of options there and too often relied on explosive plays to move the ball.

Round 4: Justin Joly, TE, NC State

The Pats can’t keep ignoring the tight end position. They have to get better there and add depth, either via free agency or the draft (maybe both).

Joly doesn’t project as a great run blocker, which offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels would surely want, but he’s a good receiver who could give Drake Maye another option in the passing game.

Round 4: Aiden Fisher, LB, Indiana

While Robert Spillane dealt with injuries, the Patriots’ depth at linebacker was tested. Jack Gibbens and Christian Elliss played admirably, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add depth in the middle rounds of the draft.

As a bonus, linebackers taken around this time — like Fisher might be — tend to contribute early on special teams.

Round 5: Isaiah Nwokobia, S, SMU

It’ll be interesting to see whether the Patriots re-sign Jaylinn Hawkins. They struck gold with fourth-round rookie safety Craig Woodson, and if they don’t re-sign Hawkins, perhaps they could turn to another mid-round safety.

Nwokobia is an aggressive, downhill safety who would pair well with Woodson on the back end of the defense.

Round 6: Devon Marshall, CB, NC State

After an early-season injury to Christian Gonzalez, the Patriots’ cornerbacks were relatively healthy in 2025. That was a good thing because they lacked depth at the position. It would be wise to invest there again.

Marshall is undersized, but he made a good impact at NC State after playing high school football at Catholic Memorial in West Roxbury, Mass.

Round 6: Ethan Onianwa, G, Ohio State

If the Patriots want to get bigger on the offensive line while improving their depth, Onianwa could be a late-round option. He’s massive (6-foot-7) but can play on the interior, which could give the Patriots flexibility regarding what they want to do with Jared Wilson.

Round 6: Brett Thorson, P, Georgia

Punter Bryce Baringer wasn’t so bad that the Patriots have to go into this offseason set on replacing him. But with four picks in the sixth round, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find some competition for him and try to upgrade at the position.

Round 6: Robert Henry Jr., RB, UTSA

One of the Patriots’ under-the-radar needs is depth at running back. They pretty much utilized only two all season in Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. And the lack of depth meant they were wary of using Henderson as a kick returner, because they didn’t want to risk injury to one of their backs.

So a late-round running back could give them flexibility. Henry averaged 6.9 yards per rush last season while adding a pair of touchdown receptions.

Round 7: Eli Heidenreich, FB, Navy

The Patriots hoped Brock Lampe would be their fullback this season, but he suffered a season-ending injury during training camp. Without him, they moved Jack Westover to the position even though he wasn’t a natural fit.

If McDaniels wants a fullback in his offense, they may have to draft one.
