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 add length and potential at corner with fifth-round pick Karon Prunty

New England selected Wake Forest cornerback Karon Prunty with the 171st overall pick in Round 5 after extensive pre-draft contact, despite him being far down many consensus boards. Prunty is a 6-1, 190-pound outside corner with a 4.45 40 and strong college coverage grades, including eight career interceptions. Pundits were mixed on the pick: some praised the Patriots’ diligence and potential upside, while others viewed it as a value reach given the cornerback depth in this class. The selection tackles a long-term need for outside corner depth as the team continues to build its secondary.
