"Max Iheanachor has been a popular selection at No. 31 recently, and that trend continues here. Penalties are a concern with the Arizona State right tackle, as he was flagged eight times last year and 16 times in the last three seasons. Nonetheless, his pressure rate allowed is respectable, and he didn't concede a sack in 2025."
"Hurst had 1,004 yards and 6 touchdowns this season from 71 catches. He spent two years at DII Valdosta State, but had 961 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2024 after moving to DL. Standing at 6-foot-4 with 4.42 speed, he boasts a near 60% contested catch rate."
"The Patriots opt for Ohio State tight end Max Klare in Round 3, who's one of the nation's premier receiving tight ends, adding depth and versatility to the offense."
The New England Patriots are preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft with 11 selections, emphasizing offensive improvements. A recent mock draft indicates six offensive picks, including Max Iheanachor at No. 31, who has shown potential despite penalty concerns. Ted Hurst is projected at No. 63 to replace Stefon Diggs, showcasing impressive stats from his previous season. Additionally, Ohio State tight end Max Klare is expected to be selected in Round 3, further enhancing the offensive lineup.
