"The Patriots open up the draft in Reuter's mock with the selection of Arizona State right tackle Max Iheanachor. Drake Maye was the most sacked quarterback in postseason history, as he was brought down 21 times in four games, and six times in the Super Bowl."
"Morgan Moses will turn 36 next offseason, and while he was solid in 2025, looking for a long-term replacement should be atop New England's checklist."
"In the second round, the Patriots add another athlete in Stanford's Sam Roush. His production for the Cardinals this season was impressive, as he hauled in 49 balls for 545 yards and a pair of touchdowns."
The New England Patriots hold 11 draft picks in 2026 and must prioritize their selections to address key needs. They aim to find a successor for Morgan Moses, enhance support for quarterback Drake Maye, and improve edge defense. A recent mock draft suggests focusing on offense, with four of the first five picks dedicated to offensive players. The Patriots are expected to select Arizona State's Max Iheanachor as a right tackle to protect Maye, who faced significant sacks last season. Additional picks include tight end Sam Roush and other offensive talents.
