Kobee Minor was chosen by the New England Patriots as the 257th and final pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, earning the title of Mr. Irrelevant. Analysts have largely criticized the selection, highlighting his unremarkable college career at Illinois and Memphis, marked by a lack of athletic ability and minimal impact as he recorded no interceptions in five seasons. Most grades for the selection have been low, indicating skepticism regarding his potential contribution, likely relegating him to a special teams role or as training camp competition.
You can never have enough cornerbacks, right? By all accounts, Minor's career at Illinois and Memphis was unremarkable and he also does not offer a lot of raw athletic ability.
The Patriots added a complete flyer in the secondary in Minor, who started just nine games in his collegiate career. He ran just a 4.56 40-yard dash.
The Patriots drafted an undersized defensive back who played for five seasons in college without recording an interception. He runs a 4.56 40-yard dash.
I thought there were players on the board that could have a legitimate impact on the team at some point.
