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.
