The Patriots drafted Texas A&M guard Layden Robinson with Pick 110 in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Robinson was a three year starter with the Aggies, starting 33 games and playing in 45 games total.

The Patriots thought they had their quarterback of the future in Mac Jones after taking him 15th overall in 2021 but after two years of regression, they moved on from him this off-season, trading him to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
