"The Patriots' offense under Josh McDaniels frequently uses a 12- or two tight end set. Like any other position, they get dinged up. Having three who can play in the NFL is, therefore, even more essential to the Patriots. They need to add possibly two solid ones this offseason."
"Eli Stowers, a 6'4", 239-pound tight end from Vanderbilt. It's a position of sneaky need, and he might be just what the doctor ordered. Eli Stowers had an impressive day and seems to be a potential reasonable target in the first two rounds."
The New England Patriots face several roster needs entering the 2026 offseason, with offensive line and edge positions as top priorities. Tight end represents an ancillary need requiring attention. Hunter Henry remains the primary option at age 31, while backup Austin Hooper is set to become a free agent. The Patriots' offensive system under Josh McDaniels frequently employs two tight end sets, making depth critical due to injury concerns. Adding multiple capable tight ends is essential. Eli Stowers, a 6'4", 239-pound tight end from Vanderbilt, emerges as a strong prospect candidate. His impressive combine performance combined with productive college play makes him a reasonable target in the first two rounds.
