Where Patriots Stand On NFL Draft Board After Week 12 Flop Vs. Dolphins

The New England Patriots put together a lackluster performance that really showed few positives in a 34-15 Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. That doesn’t mean there weren’t any positives for New England for the weekend.

The Patriots moved up to the No. 4 overall pick in the current order. Here’s what the top 10 looks like after Week 12, per Tankathon.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars, 2-9 (.492 SOS%)
2. New York Giants, 2-9 (.521 SOS%)
3. Las Vegas Raiders, 2-9 (.538 SOS%)
4. New England Patriots, 3-9 (.538 SOS%)
5. Carolina Panthers, 3-8 (.487 SOS%)
6. Tennessee Titans, 3-8 (.505 SOS%)
7. New York Jets, 3-8 (.508 SOS%)
8. Cleveland Browns, 3-8 (.513 SOS%)
9. New Orleans Saints, 4-7 (.489 SOS%)
10. Cincinnati Bengals, 4-7 (.489%)

The Patriots know they have their quarterback of the future in Drake Maye. The 2025 NFL Draft becomes that much more important to find protection and talent to put around the 2024 first-rounder. Wide receiver and offensive tackle will likely be on New England’s radar.

The Patriots host the 5-7 Indianapolis Colts in Week 13 at Gillette Stadium.
