"The New England Patriots made it all the way to Super Bowl LX, and the team is young with a bright future. But after watching Drake Maye take a pounding in the postseason, it's clear that improvement on the offensive line is a key to continued success in 2026. Veteran tackle Morgan Moses was steady at right tackle, but he's also about to turn 35."
"Offensive tackle is a key need for the Patriots, along with guard, and of course, the edge on defense. While Mike Vrabel has made it clear that second-year man Will Campbell is his left tackle, his right tackle, Morgan Moses, will be 35 shortly, and signing or drafting his successor is essential."
"Whether Moses remains for a second season or is released if a suitable successor is found this offseason, the need for another offensive tackle or two remains. It's not an option for Vrabel, it's an absolute necessity. The right tackle position needs to get younger and better this offseason."
The New England Patriots face an urgent need to strengthen their offensive line after Drake Maye endured significant pressure throughout the season and playoffs. Right tackle Morgan Moses will soon turn 35, necessitating a successor. While left tackle Will Campbell is established as the starter, the Patriots must add one or two offensive tackles this offseason. Head Coach Mike Vrabel has identified offensive line upgrades as essential, not optional. With the 31st overall pick in the first round, the Patriots should target elite tackle prospects. Arizona State's Max Iheanachor emerges as a potential fit, offering the size and potential needed to protect their young quarterback and support continued success.
