The 2026 NFL Draft came to an end on Saturday evening with the Patriots putting a bow on their most recent draft class.

In the first three rounds, the Patriots hammered their major draft needs by selecting tackle Caleb Lomu, edge rusher Gabe Jacas and tight end Eli Raridon. Eliot Wolf didn’t sit back and wait. Instead, he used multiple Day 3 picks to trade up to draft Jacas and Raridon.


Those deals left the Patriots without a fourth-round pick on Saturday. In the end, the team drafted six players in the final three rounds: cornerback Karon Prunty, tackle Dametrious Crownover, linebacker Namdi Obiazor, quarterback Behren Morton, running backj Jam Miller and edge rusher Quintayvious Hutchins


Now, the fun starts with the post-draft process as the Patriots and other teams sign undrafted free agents. This has been an important team-building step for the Patriots in years past.

Last year, several undrafted rookies finished the season on Mike Vrabel’s 53-man roster: receiver Efton Chism III, edge rusher Elijah Ponder and tight end C.J. Dippre. The Patriots franchise has a long history of successful undrafted free agents, notably David Andrews, Jonathan Jones, Malcolm Butler, Jakobi Meyers and J.C. Jackson.

Here’s a full rundown of all the Patriots 2026 undrafted free agent signings (note - until the team announces it, some of these might be rookie minicamp invites):
