The New England Patriots are in an excellent position. The squad sits at 10-2 and has been among the best teams in football this year, sporting a top MVP candidate at quarterback and one of the best run defenses in the league.

They hold ten picks in the first six rounds of the 2026 draft, and already re-signed Marcus Jones, who was the team's highest ticket player slated for free agency at the end of the year.
