Patriots Eye Jaishawn Barham for Defensive Boost
Description
The New England Patriots are prioritizing defensive front seven talent, particularly pass rushers, in the 2026 NFL Draft. With a focus on improving their pass rush, which ranked 19th last season, they have 11 picks and are expected to be active. Michigan outside linebacker Jaishawn Barham, a 22-year-old transfer from Maryland, is a standout prospect. He had 66 tackles as a junior and 32 stops with 10 tackles for loss and 4 sacks as a senior. Barhams size, speed, tackling ability, and versatility make him a strong fit for the Patriots aggressive defense. He could be a target for the team as early as their 63rd overall pick on day two.
