In total, the Super Bowl runner-ups are in possession of 11 picks, one of the highest such numbers in the league.
In total, the list looks like this:
Patriots 2026 NFL Draft picks
- 1-31
- 2-63
- 3-95
- 4-125 (from Bears, via Chiefs)
- 4-131
- 5-171
- 6-191 (from Chiefs)
- 6-198 (from Vikings, via Texans, Vikings and 49ers)
- 6-202 (from Steelers)
- 6-212
- 7-224
The Patriots acquired an extra fourth-rounder from the Chiefs through a trade down in last year’s draft. They also picked up a sixth-rounder from Kansas City as part of the Joshua Uche trade in 2024.
Their other two sixth-round selections made their way to Foxborough from two additional player trades. The first — pick No. 198 overall — was acquired from San Francisco in exchange for defensive lineman Keion White, the second — No. 202 — from the Steelers for safety Kyle Dugger.
The other seven selections were all originally assigned to the Patriots. They did not gain any extra selections through the NFL’s compensatory process.
