The pursuit of an A.J. Brown trade currently is the top story surrounding the New England Patriots. The reporting on the Brown trade has made it easy to forget that the Patriots soon will add several players in the 2026 NFL Draft.
So, what will New England do with the 31st-overall pick?
ESPN insider Adam Schefter offered insight in the latest episode of his podcast. Schefter identified Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor as a prospect whom New England could target late in the first round.
âI have a sense the Patriots might have some interest in (Iheanachor)," Schefter said. "They have to operate under the assumption that AJ Brownâs gonna be coming in, so theyâre gonna be in a good spot.â
It's unclear whether the Patriots would target a tackle like Iheanachor as a replacement for right tackle Morgan Moses or left tackle . Iheanachor primarily played right tackle at Arizona State, but New England could view him as a player capable of playing either spot.
