Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State

New England has been tied to Iheanachor frequently this draft cycle, most notably when Mike Vrabel got some hands-on time with the tackle prospect at his Pro Day.

While Will Campbell is in position to lock down the left tackle spot, the future across from him is uncertain. Morgan Moses did well at right tackle last year, but at 35 years old, he is hardly a long term solution. Iheanachor gives the Patriots someone who can develop behind Moses this season and step into a starting role in 2027 to give Drake Maye a pair of franchise tackles to protect him.

The Nigerian-born Iheanachor is relatively new to football, and it shows at times in his game, especially in pass protection. However, he has rare athletic traits with a 9.86 Relative Athletic Score, 96th percentile 40-yard dash, and 95th percentile broad jump. A redshirt year to improve technique and adjust to the NFL level should set him up for success with potential to be a Pro Bowl right tackle and a dominant run blocker.
