"Maybe this pick ends up as part of a trade package for A.J. Brown, but if not, I could see the Patriots wanting to find someone to groom as Morgan Moses' replacement. Iheanachor is a fascinating specimen whose best ball is ahead of him."
"Even if Moses continues to play at a high level in 2026, it'd be a prudent move for New England to find a long-term replacement for the veteran offensive lineman."
"A player with Iheanachor's tools and upside would seemingly be an ideal pickup for New England, as the Patriots have the luxury of giving him ample time to develop before rolling him out as a full-time starter."
The New England Patriots are expected to retain their starting tackles, Will Campbell and Morgan Moses, for the 2026 season. However, there are concerns regarding depth at offensive tackle. Campbell, despite being a high draft pick, struggled in the previous season, while Moses, at 35, provides veteran leadership but is aging. NFL draft expert Eric Edholm suggests the Patriots could use their 31st overall pick to select Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor, who has significant potential and could be groomed as Moses' successor.
