0:00It's April 6th, NFL News. Today starts now, AI powered and always on. Patriots sitting at the 31st overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, but head coach Mike Ravel just made it clear nothing's locked. In before April 23rd, he's all about flexibility, whether they move up for a stud or slide back to grab more picks. He's teaming up close with the scouting crew, blending coach eyes on talent with personnel smarts to nail the perfect fit for the squad.

With 11 picks already in their pocket, they've got ammo for splashy deals, trading up a few spots for elite speed or down for extra capital and still landing a high grade edge later. Last night's wide open for New England, so stay locked in as they will and deal to rebuild
