Head coach Mike Vrabel and executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf kept their thoughts about the 2025 NFL Draft close to their chest, but New England is reportedly willing to listen to offers for the No. 4 pick.<\/p>\n<p>MassLive\u2019s Karen Guregian, Mark Daniels and Chris Mason spoke to at least two dozen coaches, agents, executives and talent evaluators at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. After those talks, the Patriots insiders identified tight end Tyler Warren as a name \u201cto keep an eye on\u201d if New England found a trade partner.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxsports.com\/statics.foxsports.com\/www.foxsports.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1294\/728\/warren2.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Penn State TE Tyler Warren not doing drills at Combine; invited to NFL  Draft | FOX Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Warren spoke highly of the Patriots at his combine news conference Thursday despite not formally meeting with Vrabel and company. The Penn State product went viral when he revealed that he wears No. 44 because his dad showed him John Riggins film, displaying that was how he wanted his son to run.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Media\u2019s Daniel Jeremiah and ESPN\u2019s Mel Kiper ranked Warren highly at No. 5 and No. 7, respectively. Jeremiah didn\u2019t go as far as to say he\u2019s like Rob Gronkowski, but he noted the tight end had similar skills. Warren\u2019s versatility also could play well in Josh McDaniels\u2019 offense and any extra help for Drake Maye would be welcome news for fans.<\/p>\n<p>While Warren is projected to be a top-10 pick, the Patriots likely aren\u2019t going to pass up on Will Campbell or Mason Graham at No. 4, assuming Abdul Caster and Travis Hunter have already been selected. But there will be intriguing names for New England if it receives a convincing enough offer to trade down.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trio of Patriots insiders floated a draft target who New England could have its eye on if it traded down from the fourth overall pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
