Patriots' Mock Draft: Edge, Tackle, WR, & More

0:00It's April 6th. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything, NFL. The New England Patriots are less than three weeks from the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, sitting at Pick 31 in Round 1. After a busy free agency, they've got holes to fill at edge rusher, tackle, wide receiver, and more. This latest seven-round mock draft lines of prospects, who fit Mike Rabel's scheme perfectly, starting with Missouri Zion Young and Edge Defender. Who racked up 57 pressures, and 6.5 sacks last season. They follow that in Round 2, Pick 63, with Northwestern tackle Caleb Tiernan, a versatile swing guy to back up aging vets like Morgan, Moses, free agency patched some spots by signing Dremont Jones at edge and Kevin Byard at safety. But depth is thin everywhere from the line to the secondary. Fans are buzzing about speed at receiver after losing Stefan Diggs and banking on maybe AJ Brown, later.

1:00Round 3 brings Oklahoma's Dion Berks, who blaze the 4.3040 at the combine. Later picks like safety VJ Payne and tight-in Jack injuries, plan ahead for one-year deals expiring. Debra into rounds 4 through 7, they grab defensive tackle Landon Robinson from Navy for interior beef, linebacker Justin Jefferson from Alabama with 85 tackles last year, and even a quarterback like Luke Altmeyer from Illinois as a third string developmental arm behind Drake, Ma-E. This mock stacks the deck at edge with two picks, including local Boston College Guy, Quintavia's Hutchins in Round 7, giving Vrable familiar. Talent to build a contender fast.
