"Based on everything we've seen leading up to the draft, seeing the Patriots make him their first-round pick wouldn't be a surprise. It would be even less shocking now, hearing NFL insider Adam Schefter express his belief that Iheanachor will be heading to New England."
"Schefter said as much on a recent episode of his podcast this week, emphasizing that the Patriots are likely operating as if they will successfully trade for AJ Brown later this summer."
"Besides a dominant pass rusher, there has been the most speculation about the Patriots taking their next starting right tackle with pick No. 31, and for much of the past month, Iheanachor has been the top player connected to the team."
The Patriots, picking at No. 31, face uncertainty in their draft strategy after previous top 5 picks. They may prioritize a right tackle, specifically Max Iheanachor, as a successor for Morgan Moses. NFL insider Adam Schefter suggests the team is preparing for a potential trade for A.J. Brown, allowing them to focus on other needs. Iheanachor has emerged as a leading candidate for the Patriots, especially following his Pro Day performance, which caught the attention of coach Mike Vrabel.
