"Carter Bahns gave the Patriots their highest grade out of all the experts to weigh in. Bahns gave the Lomu pick an A+ and handed out his lowest grade to the Prunty pick with a C-."
"Bahns applauded the Lomu selection, calling Wolf's draft strategy 'aggressive.' He noted that New England could transition Will Campbell to guard, especially considering that the team doubled up at OT."
"Might this draft be a sign of things to come for Will Campbell? Just one year after the Patriots selected him No. 4 overall, they took a left tackle in the first round and another one in the sixth."
The New England Patriots focused on strengthening their offensive line in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting two offensive tackles, Caleb Lomu and Dametrious Crownover. They drafted five offensive players and four defensive players among their nine picks. Analysts generally awarded the team 'B' grades, with Carter Bahns giving the highest grade for Lomu and the lowest for Karon Prunty. The draft strategy was described as aggressive, indicating potential changes for Will Campbell's position on the line.
