Six Spring OTAs Storylines to Watch for the Patriots

The Patriots’ off-season program centers on six spring storylines at OTAs: where first‑round tackle Caleb Lomu fits on the offensive line; the Maye‑to‑Doubs connection; the backend depth battles at wide receiver; the RB3 competition; Josh McDaniels’s new regular package; and defensive depth across corner, safety, linebacker, and defensive tackle, with notes on Boutte’s status and possible A.J. Brown trade buzz during non‑contact practices open to the media.

Caleb Lomu Takes Left Tackle Spotlight in Patriots Day 2 Minicamp

On Day 2 of the Patriots’ rookie minicamp, Caleb Lomu spent the entire practice at left tackle, signaling a potential long‑term fit on the left side while Dametrious Crownover handled right tackle; seventh-round QB Behren Morton received heavy reps under Josh McDaniels, and UDFA receivers like Kyle Dixon showed activity in the team period. Several rookies were sidelined or limited (Raridon, Jacas, Hutchins), and head coach Mike Vrabel stayed actively involved, as the camp winds toward its Sunday conclusion.

Lomu Might Push Campbell Toward Guard to Strengthen Patriots OL

Patriots mailbag explores whether first‑round pick Caleb Lomu could force Will Campbell to switch positions. While Campbell is the intended left tackle, the best five could see Lomu at LT with Campbell sliding to left guard and Vera‑Tucker to right guard, with Lomu also viewed as a potential jumbo tight end. The piece also touches on surrounding roster questions and trade chatter, but centers on whether Lomu’s emergence could reshape the Patriots’ offensive line.

Patriots' 2026 Draft: Jacas tops favorites, late-round picks questioned

Patriots beat writer Doug Kyed names edge rusher Gabe Jacas as his favorite pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and flags cornerback Karon Prunty or linebacker Namdi Obiazor as the least favorite—crediting the front office for aggressive moves up and down the board. The piece also discusses potential steals like sixth-round tackle Dametrious Crownover and seventh-round Jam Miller, and notes the overall sense that the draft class was not particularly strong.

Patriots’ 2026 Draft Grades Spotlight Edge, OL Depth and Late-Round Upside

The Boston Herald grades New England’s 2026 draft as a mix of upside and depth: Caleb Lomu (1st round) earns a B+, the team then trades up to No. 55 for Gabe Jacas with an A, and Day 2 yields TE Eli Raridon (B). On Day 3, Quintayvious Hutchins (C), Behron Morton (C+), Namdi Obiazor (B-), Dametrious Crownover (B+), and Karon Prunty (C-) add developmental pieces and special-teams depth. Morton projects as QB3 behind Maye/DeVito; Jacas fits the Patriots’ edge profile and could be a cornerstone, Lomu offers tackle versatility but positional questions linger, Hutchins may be a special-teams contributor, Prunty provides speed but age/coverage questions persist, Obiazor is a run-first LB with special-teams potential, and Crownover brings length and toughness with room to grow.

Patriots Trade Up to Land Caleb Lomu, Locking in Long-Term O-Line Plan

New England moved up three spots to draft Utah tackle Caleb Lomu at No. 28, adding long-term tackle depth behind Morgan Moses and Will Campbell. Lomu isn’t expected to start as a rookie, but national outlets graded the selection highly (A-/A), while Pats Pulpit gave mixed to positive scores. The team paid a fourth-round pick (125th) to move up and aims to protect Drake Maye, with Lomu likely developing behind the current starters before potentially taking over at right tackle next year.

Patriots Trade Up to Land Caleb Lomu, Betting on a Versatile O-Line Future

New England moved up to pick Utah tackle Caleb Lomu at No. 28 in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 21-year-old is viewed as a versatile blocker who could eventually start at right tackle behind veteran Morgan Moses, aided by a 9.78 Relative Athletic Score, 0 sacks allowed in 2025, and Utah’s 3,462 rushing yards last season, underscoring his elite athleticism and run/pass protection potential.

Patriots land Caleb Lomu at 28, signaling future bookend on the O-line

New England moved up to No. 28 to draft Utah tackle Caleb Lomu, a 21-year-old two-year starter who projects as a future right tackle behind Morgan Moses with a swing role in his rookie year. Lomu posted elite athletic marks (4.99 40-yard dash, long arms) and earned first-team All-Big 12 in 2025, with room to add strength as he develops. The pick came via a trade sending No. 31 and No. 125 to the Bills and continues the Patriots' trend of prioritizing the O-line with early-round investments.
