NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
Buffalo acquired 2026 1st round pick (31st overall subsequently traded, Keldric Faulk) and 2026 4th round pick (125th overall, Skyler Bell) from New England Patriots for 2026 1st round pick (28th overall, Caleb Lomu). This was primarily a draft-capital exchange. The available record does not show a decisive long-term separation, so the fair treatment is a balanced grade unless the selected players created a clear outcome gap
