The New England Patriots are currently projected to finish with the worst record in the NFL according to ESPN’s FPI model. With a 3-10 record, the Patriots have a high chance of securing a top-five pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. They are also in contention for the No. 1 pick, holding the fourth-best odds in betting markets. As the Patriots have the worst strength of schedule among the teams with the four worst records, they have a good chance of securing a top draft pick. Despite being out of the playoff hunt, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo is focused on developing young players. The team faces tough opponents in the remaining weeks, increasing their chances for a high draft pick. Jacksonville, Las Vegas, and the New York Giants are their top competitors for the No. 1 pick, each with varying remaining strengths of schedule. Though the team is not actively trying to lose games, having a high draft pick could benefit their future roster.
