Where Patriots Stand In 2025 NFL Draft Order After Week 15 Loss

The New England Patriots took another step in the wrong direction as a team in Week 15 with a 30-17 road loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

New England dropped to 3-11 on the season with several clear needs around the roster. The Patriots have cornerstone players in Drake Maye and Christian Gonzalez, but that’s about it.

The Patriots need to be active in the free agent market and the draft to drastically improve their roster and speed up the rebuild. As far as the draft is concerned, Sunday afternoon’s loss helped New England jump back toward the top of the order.

New England started the day at No. 7, but after its own loss and some help, the Patriots jumped back up to No. 3, the same spot they selected Maye in during the 2024 draft.

Here’s an updated look at the top 10 after the Week 15 Sunday slate, per Tankathon.

1. New York Giants (2-12, .143% win percentage, .549% strength of schedule)
2. Las Vegas Raiders (2-11, .154%, .536%)
3. New England Patriots (3-11, .214%, .466%)
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-11, .214%, .483%)
5. Carolina Panthers (3-11, .214%, .496%)
6. Tennessee Titans (3-11, .214%, .506%)
7. Cleveland Browns (3-11, .214%, .527%)
8. New York Jets (3-11, .214%, .527%)
9. Chicago Bears (4-9, .308%, .554%)
10. New Orleans Saints (5-9, .357%, .491%)

There will still be plenty of movement in this order before the conclusion of the season. The 2025 NFL Draft takes place at Lambeau Field in Green Bay from April 24-26, 2025.
