Patriots could be forced into a trade for their desired first-round pick
"Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor says he had a 30 visit with the #Patriots after the NFL Combine. 'It's really a big blessing for me to be able to learn from [Mike Vrabel], and him being hands-on.'"
"There's good reason to believe the Patriots will have to trade up for Max Iheanachor. The dropoff between first-round talent and the next batch is significant."
The Patriots are uncertain about their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, currently positioned at No. 31. Speculation suggests they may target offensive lineman Max Iheanachor from Arizona State. Head coach Mike Vrabel's presence at Iheanachor's Pro Day and their second meeting has fueled rumors of this choice. However, the Patriots may need to trade up to secure him, as several offensive linemen are expected to be taken early in the draft, creating a competitive environment for top talent.
