Patriots land Jacas and Raridon with Day 2 trades, upgrading edge and TE

New England traded up to take Illinois edge Gabe Jacas at 55 and Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon at 95 in the 2026 NFL Draft, aiming to boost the pass rush and the receiving TE room. Jacas brings disruptive, high-motor play with 35.5 career tackles for loss and 27 sacks, while Raridon — a 6-foot-6 target who battled ACL injuries — posted 32 receptions for 482 yards in 2025. Patriots executives said Jacas was their highest-rated on the board and noted a 30-visit evaluation for Raridon; the piece highlights six numbers—35.5, 35, 59, 30, 32, 31—as context for the picks.

Eagles' Draft Day Playbook: Likely Upmoves in Round 1, Subtle Shuffles Elsewhere

With eight picks this year and compensatory picks in play, the Eagles’ draft plan centers on selective movement: a likely first‑round upmove if needed, but not in a two‑for‑two style swap; limited trading on day 2, and modest moves around the 3rd round unless a compelling offer appears. Historically they favor up‑moves in the first and rarely swap back in the 2nd, so expect careful, position‑driven tweaks rather than blockbuster exchanges, with the evolving 2026 draft landscape possibly prompting some creativity.
