Patriots' Draft Focus: Speed & Size for Edge Rusher
Description
The New England Patriots, with de facto general manager Eliot Wolf, have significant needs at offensive tackle, wide receiver, and edge rusher heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. Wolf hinted at targeting speed on the edge while maintaining size. The team lost athletic edge rusher KLavon Chaisson in the offseason, leaving a gap in their depth. Wolf emphasized the need for big bodies that can fly off the edge, like Texas A&Ms Cashius Howell, who complements power rushers like DreMont Jones. The draft begins April 23rd, and all eyes are on how New England builds their edge rotation to compete sooner rather than later.
