Stefon Diggs posted the lowest numbers of his NFL career in 2024, but it was because of a season-ending ACL injury in Week 8 while with the Houston Texans.

The 2025 NFL Draft has two days and three rounds in the book, but the event hasn't even reached its true midpoint yet. Rounding out the receiving corps made sense for Houston given the departure of Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell's uncertain status, and the Texans got ahead of a possible run on the position early on Day 2.

4/22/25 | Sleeper WR Gaining Momentum as Potential Patriots Pick. The New England Patriots definitely need to add more pieces offensively, and while their offensive line is their biggest area of weakness, they also need to bring in more pass-catchers. The Patriots had the worst receiving corps in the NFL last season, and while they did sign Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency, both of those players come with significant question marks. Luckily, this upcoming NFL Draft class is set to be incredibly deep at wide receiver, so New England should be able to come away with a nice one somewhere. While the Pats probably won't be landing Travis Hunter, there will be plenty of other options available, and there is one sleeper candidate that seems to be gaining traction as a potential Patriots pick: Washington State star Kyle Williams.

4/21/25 | Patriots could soon cut ties with $19.5 million veteran; 3 teams listed as fits. The New England Patriots' wide receiver room is a fascinating place these days. Accordingly, with the exception of new acquisition Stefon Diggs, it wouldn't be a shock to see the Patriots part ways with anyone. With the arrivals of Diggs and Mack Hollins, coupled with the need to get youngsters like Ja'Lynn Polk more touches, one veteran could find himself without much opportunity for touches. Kendrick Bourne, 29, is entering the second year of a three-year, $19.5 million contract in New England. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/new-england-pa... |
4/21/25 | Patriots Predicted to Land Electrifying 22-TD Weapon. The New England Patriots need to add weapons all over the place, and while their hole at wide receiver remains prominent even after the acquisitions of Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, they could use help in their backfield, as well. The running back duo of Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson was very disappointing in 2024, leading to new head coach Mike Vrabel stating that the Patriots will probably look to select a halfback at some point in the NFL Draft next week. Fortunately for New England, this draft class is absolutely loaded with talent at running back, so the Pats should be able to come away with a stud, even if they wait until Day 3.

NFL Media draft expert Daniel Jeremiah sees a lot of Diggs in Missouri's Luther Burden III. “As a player he reminded me a lot of Stef Diggs coming out of Maryland,” Jeremiah told reporters during a pre-draft conference call Friday, per a NFL.com transcript.

4/20/25 | Karen Guregian: The Patriots have to fix what's broke drafting receivers. New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. (AP Photo/Abbie Parr) AP There are scads of teams who will draft a quarterback every year with the hope of striking it rich. They keep going back to the well, until they hit the jackpot. That's a sound strategy. That should also be the Patriots mindset when it comes to receivers. Keep drafting them, until they get it right. Let's remember, the last pass catcher to get a Pro Bowl nod was a tight end, not a receiver. That was Rob Gronkowski, whose last selection came in 2017. Julian Edelman was the team's last 1,000-yard receiver. The last time he accomplished that feat was 2019.

4/19/25 | Patriots Named Compelling Trade Fit for Packers Playmaker. The New England Patriots are clearly trying to revamp their receiving corps this offseason, even if they haven't exactly made a ton of headway thus far. Yes, they signed Stefon Diggs, but he is 31-years-old and coming off of a torn ACL. The Patriots will almost certainly select another wide receiver at some point in the NFL Draft, but could they try and swing a trade to land a proven weapon as well? Sterling Xie of Pro Football Network thinks so, naming New England as one of the top potential trade destinations for Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs.

4/18/25 | Boston Radio Host Floats Blockbuster Patriots-Eagles Draft Day Trade. The New England Patriots could have a fascinating decision to make next week with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. New England revamped the defense in free agency and got the offense a real pass-catcher in Stefon Diggs. The Patriots now have another chance to add real talent in the draft, though another avenue could take them to a splash. Host Nick “Fitzy” Stevens shared on the “WEEI Afternoons” show Friday he received a call from a source that the Philadelphia Eagles could present a trade for the No. 4 overall pick to draft Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with star wideout A.J. Brown and potential draft compensation going to the Patriots in the reported scenario. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/04/boston-radio-host-floats-... |

4/17/25 | Wide receivers the Patriots could take in 2025 NFL Draft. The New England Patriots added Stefon Diggs in free agency to boost the team's wide receiver corps, but it remains a position the team should explore boosting through the 2025 NFL Draft. While the Patriots drafted Ja'Lynn Polk (second round) and Javon Baker (fourth round) in 2024, neither were able to do much throughout their rookie season. It would be in New England's best interest to add another young pass-catcher to the mix who could grow alongside second-year QB Drake Maye. Along with Diggs, Polk, and Baker, the Patriots currently have Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, and Mack Hollins on their depth chart at receiver.

4/15/25 | Could Patriots swing blockbuster trade for $90 million superstar with division rival?. The New England Patriots unquestionably need more receiving talent, but how much risk are they willing to incur to find it? Giving Stefon Diggs a three-year, $69 million contract after suffering a torn ACL was certainly a signal that the Patriots are willing to take some swings. There's another superstar receiver who could be had if the Patriots are looking to avoid using their first-round pick at the position, but it's a move that would come with all sorts of red flags. Miami Dolphins eight-time Pro Bowler Tyreek Hill is in the final year of his $90 million extension, and pending the outcome of a recent domestic dispute, could be available via trade.

4/13/25 | Former NFL Star Drops Massive Prediction for Patriots' Stefon Diggs. The New England Patriots signed Stefon Diggs in free agency, hoping they finally found a No. 1 wide receiver for quarterback Drake Maye. Of course, Diggs comes with some serious question marks, as he is recovering from a torn ACL and may not be available for the start of the season. Predicting 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns is certainly an ambitious prediction given that Diggs has only crested the 1,300-yard mark twice in his NFL career, most recently doing it in 2022 when he totaled 1,429 yards with the Buffalo Bills.
