The 2026 NFL Draft is less than 10 days away as the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five. With good talent along the interior of their defensive line, New England may […]
The New England Patriots investing high-end draft capital in wide receivers has not proven to be a particularly successful endeavor over the years. Whether it was Bethel Johnson or Chad Jackson in the 2000s, Aaron Dobson or N’Keal Harry in the 2010s, or most recently 2024 second-round flameout Ja’Lynn Polk, the team has struggled finding […]

The New England Patriots are back, much to everyone’s chagrin. The post-Bill Belichick era was looking refreshingly bleak in Foxborough, but with Mike Vrabel at the helm, the team saw a sudden resurgence all the way to the Super Bowl last year. Now, as we approach Pick 31 in our Pride of Detroit Community Mock […]
I submit that Matthew Golden’s rookie year was not so much bad as it was odd. His statistical output was, to be blunt, frustrating. The only 0 I wanted to see from Golden last year was on his uniform, not in the “touchdowns” column of his page on Pro Football Reference. Yes, he got into […]
Following a series of trades, the New England Patriots are entering the 2026 NFL Draft with plenty of selections in hand. In total, the Super Bowl runner-ups are in possession of 11 picks, one of the highest such numbers in the league. In total, the list looks like this: Patriots 2026 NFL Draft picks The […]
One of my esteemed colleagues calls this time of year the silly season. That name fits just about as much as anything else. In the NFL, there is very much a hurry up and wait mentality. Free agency opens in early March and most fans want their team to act now, now, now. We declare […]
While the NFL Draft in itself is usually pretty straight forward — one player after the other gets picked — the process leading up to is quite complex. Scouts spend more than a year diving into prospects; there are visits, meetings and workouts; every player gets tested scrupulously both athletically as well as mentally and […]
The New England Patriots defense was mightily opportunistic in the playoffs, registering eight total takeaways en route to a Super Bowl appearance. That was not always the case during the regular season, though: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel took the ball away only 19 times, ranking 19th in the league. Adding NFL interception […]
After already welcoming projected early-round picks Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (Toledo) and Zakee Wheatley (Penn State) to Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots hosted another safety on pre-draft visit on Tuesday. Michigan State’s Malik Spencer was in town as the third reported player at the position to visit with the team. Spending his entire four-year college career […]

Instead of submitting your usual questions, send in your personal favorite New England Patriots mock draft. You can submit a written version of the selections down in the comments below […]
On paper, the New England Patriots appear to be in a good position along their interior defensive line. Milton Williams and Christian Barmore are one of the top duos in football, and both still under contract for multiple years. And yet, the team might decide to use draft capital to further bolster the group. Even […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is less than 10 days away as the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board. Things will look quite different for the team this draft picking 31st overall after back-to-back years selecting in the top-five.

Alycia Baumgardner is set to return this Friday, April 17, 2026, to defend her three super featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in the main event of MVP’s second ESPN card, MVW-02. We’ll have live coverage and updates this Friday night, so make sure you come back to Bad Left Hook for that, and […]
Even though Drake Maye finished second in NFL MVP voting in 2025, the New England Patriots entered the offseason facing questions at the quarterback position. Obviously, there were no doubts about Maye’s status as the starter, but the backup spots behind him remained in a state of fluidity. The first domino to fall was restricted […]
The New England Patriots scouting department and front office gathered last week to begin putting the final touches on their 2026 NFL Draft Board. While work remains to be done with the draft less than 10 days away, the strengths and weaknesses of this year’s class have started to show. “I think it’s a pretty […]
Speaking to reporters at Gillette Stadium on Monday, New England Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf pointed to the edge as a position his team will be looking to address in the upcoming NFL Draft. There is one area in particular the Patriots want to improve, namely the group’s overall speed. There […]
The New England Patriots continue hosting draft prospects at Gillette Stadium, with four players in town on Monday alone. Among them was yet another edge defender, the fifth confirmed visit from that position group: Auburn’s Keyron Crawford. Crawford, 22, is no stranger to meeting with the Patriots after already spending time with their representatives at […]
Morgan Moses may be 35 years old and a veteran of 12 NFL seasons, but he has no desire to end his career in pro football just yet. That was the plan earlier in the year, and it apparently has not changed now that the New England Patriots offseason workout program is on the horizon. […]
The New England Patriots made no secret out of their desire to improve their defensive edge play in 2026, and they acted accordingly this offseason. The Super Bowl runner-ups signed veteran Dre’Mont Jones to a three-year, $36.5 million deal in free agency and also decided to move on from K’Lavon Chaisson and Anfernee Jennings. While […]
The New England Patriots appear to be set atop their safety depth chart, with sophomore Craig Woodson and veteran free agency pickup Kevin Byard as the projected starters heading into the 2026 season. Despite their presence, however, the team is far from done equipping the group for the future. The 32-year-old Byard in particular, after […]
In between free agency and the NFL Draft, much of the conversation around the New England Patriots’ offseason has been centered around two players: cornerback Christian Gonzalez and Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown. Starting with New England’s own, Gonzalez is now eligible to sign a contract extension with the team entering his fourth NFL season. […]
