"The Bills' decision to trade with their biggest rival, one who stole the division in 2025 and made it all the way to the Super Bowl, is going to prove to be a massive mistake."
"One of the weakest parts of the Patriots' roster in recent years has been their offensive line, and although it was far improved for the 2025 season, Drake Maye was still sacked 47 times during the regular season."
"Now that they have added a player like Lomu, along with the free agent additions of Alijah Vera-Tucker, it won't be as easy to rattle or knock down Maye in the future."
The New England Patriots traded up in the draft to select offensive tackle Caleb Lomu, addressing a critical need on their offensive line. This move came as most top tackles were off the board, prompting the Patriots to act quickly. The trade with the Buffalo Bills, their division rival, allowed New England to bolster their protection for quarterback Drake Maye, who faced significant pressure in the previous season. The Bills, while gaining additional draft picks, may regret aiding a rival that has recently outperformed them in the division.
