How did they do when they were finally on the clock? We'll review.

The Patriots’ start to free agency has drawn mixed reviews, but was it actually a quiet miss — or a calculated approach rooted in the right priorities? 

In this week’s episode of the Patriots Roundtable Podcast, we break down what New England’s additions and departures say about the roster, the team’s long-term plan, and whether the Patriots are building the right way around their young core. 

From the additions of Romeo Doubs and Alijah Vera-Tucker to Kevin Byard, Dre’Mont Jones, Reggie Gilliam, and the losses of key contributors from 2025, we get into whether the Patriots were too passive early — or simply more disciplined than people wanted them to be.

The Patriots have 11 picks — but only three in the top 100. Mock Draft 1.0 is our first run at building the middle class of the roster the right way: address needs, read the depth of the class, and figure out where the board will punish you if you wait.

That’s what tonight’s episode is all about: Mock Draft 1.0 is our first real pass at mapping out a workable draft blueprint for New England — using all 11 picks they currently hold in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Patriots have a strong core and are positioned well, but the NFL calendar is relentless. Now, they’ll churn the roster, protect flexibility, and set the board for the moves that ensure success in 2026 and beyond. We dive into potential cap casualties in this week’s Patriots Roundtable Podcast.

That’s what our 2026 Offseason Preview, Part II, is all about. Eddie and Tyler dig into the Patriots’ cap-casualty conversation this week: why contenders almost always have to cut somewhere, how a front office balances “good player” versus “good contract,” and how Mike Vrabel’s second offseason in charge could bring another round of decisive roster shaping.
