The New England Patriots face three key needs in the 2026 NFL Draft: tight end, offensive tackle and tight end. Now that three rounds are over, Mike Vrabel and Elliot Wolfe have spoken out on all three.
The Patriots selected Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon with the 95th overall pick.

At 6-foot-6, 245 pounds, Raritan is a bit of a risk as he is injury-prone, suffering two torn ACLs. However, he has big hands and a wide catching radius, giving quarterback Derek Meyer another offensive weapon while also bringing in a young tight end to complement Hunter Henry.
He also performed well at the NFL Scouting Combine, rushing 4.62 seconds, 40 yards.
