Patriots 2026 NFL Draft takeaways: Positions of need addressed early, curious fliers late
On the heels of a Super Bowl run, the New England Patriots used the 2026 NFL Draft to fill specific needs, focusing on their biggest positions of weakness with their early picks before taking some fun late-round fliers Saturday afternoon.They were on the wrong side of some early-round runs that meant they had to trade up to pick offensive tackle Caleb Lomu in the first round and edge rusher Gabe Jacas in the second, but, crucially, those selections addressed their two biggest needs.

Steelers 2026 NFL Draft takeaways: Round 1 drama, trenches, a couple reaches
The host city was the story of the draft on Thursday night — but not for the reason the team wanted. Steelers GM Omar Khan was on the phone with USC receiver Makai Lemon when the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in to snag him by trading up to the 20th pick. Pittsburgh pivoted by drafting Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor. While the optics weren’t great, years from now (or even early in the season if Broderick Jones’ health remains a concern) people may feel much differently about it.Adve...
Eagles 2026 NFL Draft takeaways: Era-high gap between picks with a lot of trades
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles seemed more confident they’d satisfy their needs by spending 2026 draft picks as trade capital rather than picking from this cycle’s pool of prospects at a high volume. It is fair to suggest the Eagles didn’t see much value in the middle rounds. Their 110-pick gap between picks No. 68 and 178 was the franchise’s widest since at least 2010, when Howie Roseman was first named general manager.Advertisement

Fantasy football winners, losers, best fits from the 2026 NFL Draft
With the 2026 NFL Draft in the books, it’s time for the winners and losers from a fantasy football perspective. Mind you, this isn’t a complete “every single winner or loser” list. It’s the biggest in each category and more about each player’s boost (or drop-off) from pre-draft hopes. So, Jeremiyah Love actually isn’t an NFL Draft “winner.” We knew he’d be a top pick, and you can argue there was a better landing spot. He’s still a Top 10 RB for fantasy, but again, not a winner of the draft.Adver...
