J.C. Jackson trade: Grades for Patriots, Chargers in draft pick swap

The New England Patriots acquired cornerback J.C. Jackson in a trade on Wednesday with the Los Angeles Chargers. The teams are swapping 2025 sixth- and seventh-round picks in the deal, with the Patriots getting Jackson and the Chargers' seventh-rounder in that draft, and the Chargers getting New England's sixth-rounder.

Jackson was originally drafted by the Pats and played in New England from 2018 to 2021, before signing a five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Chargers in free agency last year. The two teams are reworking Jackson's remaining $9.
