FOX Sports Trade:
Patriots Receive: 25th Overall Pick
Bears Receive: 31st Overall Pick, 3rd Round Pick (#95)

ESPN Trade Idea:
Patriots Receive: 2026 2nd Round Pick (33rd), 2026 2nd Round Pick (44th)
Jets Receive: 31st Overall Pick, 2026 2nd Round Pick (63rd), 2026 4th Round Pick (131st)

Bill Barnwell on Patriots Trade:
“This would be a relatively lopsided trade by the Johnson chart, but there are two reasons the Patriots would demand a premium to move down two picks here. One is the intra-division tax, as the Patriots probably won't want to help the rival Jets add to their roster. The other relates to fifth-year-option flexibility. By trading out of the first round, the Patriots would lose the ability to sign their pick to a fifth-year option, which offers meaningful upside if you hit on your pick. Every general manager believes that they will nail their picks, so missing out on one extra year of cost control makes that two-pick swap more important for the Patriots than it might seem.”

Mark Daniels on Jacob Rodriguez
“He developed into one of the best linebackers in program history. Rodriguez finished with 115 tackles, four interceptions, 10 passes defended and seven forced fumbles last season. He made 302 tackles in his collegiate career. Rodriguez earned a laundry list of accolades last season, including Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Butkus Award winner and Heisman Trophy finalist, finishing fifth. He’s a projected second-round pick.”
