Patriots NFL Draft needs

• **Edge rusher:**The Patriots lost K'Lavon Chaisson to free agency after his surprisingly strong season and are relying on veterans Harold Landry III and Dre'Mont Jones in 2026. There are worse duos, but if New England wants to round its defense into one of the NFL's truly elite units, a long-term upgrade is needed. Fortunately, there will be plenty of options in the late first and second rounds.
• **Wide receiver:**The potential acquisition of Brown would make wide receiver less of a need for the Patriots, particularly after signing Romeo Doubs, but it wouldn't hurt to add fresh young talent to the unit with Kayshon Boutte a trade candidate. If the Patriots aren't completely confident they can get Brown, wide receiver is a must.
