## Resource

Phil Perry joined Tom E. Curran to evaluate the Patriots 2026 draft class. They dive into some of New England’s early picks, like OT Caleb Lomu, EDGE Gabe Jacas and TE Eli Raridon. They wonder if Lomu was the “best player available” at No. 28, like Mike Vrabel said he wanted. They answer who they expect to have the most impact in 2026. Did this feel like a Vrabel draft or an Eliot Wolf draft, and how much did Vrabel’s absence affect the team on Day 3? Plus, Phil Perry hands out his draft superlatives!
