Here\u2019s what New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> Executive Vice President of Player Personnel, Eliot Wolf, had to say following the team’s selections on night two of the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/em><\/p>\n

On the selection of Gabe Jacas and the trade to acquire the pick and how that was executed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yeah, we were exploring the board, and Gabe was the highest-rated player that we had on there, obviously at a position of need.\u00a0 We just felt like, rather than waiting, frankly, again, I said this last night about Caleb [Lomu] too, but I was a little bit surprised that he wasn’t off the board already. So, we tried to pull the trigger. We were calling a bunch of teams, before we ended up making the trade, and fortunately, the Chargers wanted to acquire some more picks. So, we were able to get up and get the player that we coveted.”<\/p>\n

On what they saw from Eli [Raridon] that made them want to draft him:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Tremendous athlete. One-year player has overcome some serious injuries there at Notre Dame to really kind of find his own this year. And you could see him sort of, again, coming into his own as we went through the season. You could just see his confidence growing and growing throughout the year. Kind of an all-around guy, probably more of a pass catcher first, but a willing blocker. Again, like I said about all these rookies, he’s going to have to get stronger, but really, really good worker, has a lot of talent, 6’6″, 245, tested incredibly well. And again, just some untapped potential there with only the one year of real playing.”<\/p>\n

On with Eli, with the knee not only in high school, but then again as his freshman year, how much of the medicals did they have to look at and how comfortable are they with what he’s had to go through;<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yeah, Jim Whalen and Dr. Martin and Mike Baum and the whole crew signed off on it. And, no real concerns. We brought Eli in for a pre-draft visit. And so they were able to examine him not only at the Combine, but also here. And no, concerns.”<\/p>\n

On the fact they started the draft with 11 picks and have used a handful to move up, and if that was the plan, to be aggressive as opposed to sitting and waiting and using some of those extra day 3 picks to get the guys they wanted:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yeah, I wouldn’t say that that was necessarily the plan. Again, we were, as I say a lot, open to doing what we think is best for the team. We thought this would be a possibility just based on the amount of names that we had on the board in the first couple rounds and it ended up going that way. Again, with Caleb and with Gabe, we did not think that they were going to be there when we got them. We didn’t think Eli was going to be there when we got him either, but we were, all those tight ends started to go off the board, and we said, ‘Maybe we can just kind of sit here and see if he’ll fall to us.’ So again, just excited to add all three of these guys.”<\/p>\n

On watching some of Gabe’s film, it looks like he’s bowlegged, and if there’s any downside to that as far as injury risk or anything positionally for him:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I don’t remember him being bowlegged, so I’ll have to go back and look at that. It wasn’t something that was discussed by us, but to answer the general bowlegged question, that’s not really something that concerns us. The knock-knee thing, the opposite of the bowlegs, is something that, from a stability standpoint, particularly some of the bigger guys, that we try to shy away from.”<\/p>\n

On with Gabe, what was it about his play style that appealed to them, and what did they see from him just on his visit to the facility:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yeah, I mean, the play style is what we’re all about. Toughness, determination, grit. Like, he plays really\u2014 he plays a ton of snaps. He plays really hard. He’s super physical. He runs to the ball, not afraid to take on blockers. His junior year, he played a little bit more inside, on third down, and some things like that. So that’s something that we felt like he could do. And just really the play style is something that stood out. And as far as the visit, this guy is high energy. He’s all about football. He wants to be good. He’s powerful. The coaches were ecstatic when we were able to acquire him, and the visit was a big part of that, just getting comfortable with him as a person.”<\/p>\n

On the fact Gabe told [the media] he walked out of the visit and kind of felt like it would be a good spot for him, and if he got that sense that he was feeling that way after the visit:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yeah, absolutely. I mean, this happens with a few guys every year. He was one of the guys that came in and everyone was just kind of gushing about him, like his energy, his personality. He’s all about football. He’s a tough guy. Frank Piraino, our strength coach, is fired up about him because he’s a weight room guy, and a wrestler, which obviously Frank has that background as well. So yeah, he made quite an impression when he was here.”<\/p>\n

On the fact they’ve added a couple guys with wrestling backgrounds, and if that’s a significant factor in the evaluation at all for some of the guys, especially who are going to be working in the trenches, and are there certain skills from his perspective that do directly translate from wrestling to football?<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yeah, I wouldn’t say it’s something we necessarily look for. I think it’s an added bonus. Like, if we like the film, it’s like, ‘Oh, this guy’s a wrestler.’ So it’s kind of a point like, when you say a guy’s a wrestler, you kind of know what that’s talking about with the lower body strength, the leverage, and obviously those things translate to playing offensive or defensive line.”<\/p>\n

On the fact last year before picking TreVeyon [Henderson], there was some kind of debate involved leading up to those picks, but it sounds like Caleb [Lomu] and Gabe might have been just players everyone agreed upon, and if there was any debate around Eli’s pick or any other similar conversations this year:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“There was probably most debate around the Eli pick and then, all those guys ended up going. So Eli was the highest player available on our board for a while there. But there were some guys that were kind of on the same level. But, obviously, needing a tight end, having a guy that’s 6’6″, 245 that is kind of just scratching the surface ultimately, won out.”<\/p>\n

On the fact he mentioned that the coaches were ecstatic with Gabe’s visit, specifically with Mike Smith, how did he play a role in maybe wanting to draft Gabe? Because Gabe spoke very highly of him when [the media] spoke with him earlier in the night:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yeah, I’m sure as you all know, Mike’s pretty high energy, so they really connected from what I understand. And, all the coaches write up the players that we give them. They spend a lot of time with them. They put in a ton of work. They go to the pro days. They go to Zooms. I just can’t really speak enough to the work the coaches have done, the willingness, again, after a longer season than a lot of teams had to dive right in in March and get back to it. Mike was one of those, obviously, and he and Gabe really connected.”<\/p>\n
