Here’s how NFL analysts graded the Patriots trading Josh Uche to the Chiefs

Patriots trade grades: The Patriots completed a trade on Monday, sending pass rusher Josh Uche to the Chiefs in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

At 2-6, trading Uche was a clear signal that the Patriots are looking to the future given the team’s present circumstances. Even after defeating the Jets on Sunday, New England is still at the bottom of the division.

As for the return for Uche, who was originally a 2020 second-round pick, NFL analysts offered a slight range of opinions.
