The Patriots are considering adding edge rushers through trades, free agency, or the draft to improve their pass rush.
Ohio State defenders Arvell Reese, Caleb Downs, and Sonny Styles are all projected to be top-10 picks, with Styles being the cleanest prospect among them. Styles has transitioned from safety to linebacker, recording 182 tackles and seven sacks over two seasons, drawing comparisons to All-Pro Fred Warner.
In his second year, Hood transferred to Colorado and this was the breakout year in terms of real defensive snaps and ball production. He featured in 13 games making 24 tackles, and two interceptions, and he also contributed on kick returns.
Mendoza is widely expected to be the number 1 overall pick after leading Indiana to a 16-0 season and a national championship win over Miami. He finished the 2025 campaign throwing for 3,535 yards and 41 touchdowns en route to winning the Heisman Trophy.
