(Photo by Jeffrey Vest/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The 2026 NFL Draft features a strong tight end class. It’s a position the Patriots are expected to target.

The top of New England’s current depth chart features Hunter Henry and free agent addition Julian Hill, who signed a three-year deal with the team earlier this month. As Henry enters his age 31 season — also the final year of his contract — and Hill has just 33 career receptions to his name, the team is expected to continue to add to the depth chart. That being said, selecting one, or even two, tight ends in the NFL Draft seems like a foregone conclusion based on the offseason so far.

And if they do, Georgia’s Oscar Delp is among the favorite candidates to be brought aboard. Hard facts Name: Oscar Delp Position: Tight end School: Georgia (Sr. ) Opening day age: 23 (8/4/2003) Measurements : 6’5”, 245 lbs, 31 5/8” arm length, 9 1/2” hand size, 4.
