The New England Patriots are well-positioned to be active in the NFL Draft over the next two years.
The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday without the Patriots making any more moves. Their only trade was sending edge rusher Josh Uche to the Kansas City Chiefs last week for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick
As a result of this trade -- and previous deals -- the Patriots now have 17 picks in the next two drafts, including nine in 2025 and eight in 2026. The most valuable draft pick acquired was a 2025 third-round selection from the Atlanta Falcons in the Matthew Judon trade back in August.
