In a recent seven-round mock redraft for the 2026 NFL season by Chad Reuter on NFL.com, the New England Patriots underwent significant roster changes. Key selections include quarterback Brock Purdy at No. 31 and wide receiver A.J. Brown at No. 34. The Patriots, who made it to the Super Bowl last season, face a challenge as they shift from current quarterback Drake Maye to Purdy. Several top players, including Maye and cornerback Christian Gonzalez, were picked by other teams. The mock draft suggests a more competitive roster, provided the current coaching staff remains.
- •Patriots select Brock Purdy with the 31st pick.
- •A.J. Brown stays with the Patriots at wide receiver.
- •Christian Gonzalez moves to the Los Angeles Rams in the draft.
- •The Patriots' draft aims to boost both offense and defense.
- •Current roster shows significant changes from the previous season.
