Chicago Bears and New England Patriots
Chicago Bears received 2018 2nd round pick (51st overall, Anthony Miller) in the 2018-04-27 exchange with New England Patriots. Anthony Miller became a useful receiving option in Chicago, but he never developed into the kind of long-term difference-maker that would erase the cost of moving both a current fourth-rounder and a future second-rounder. The direct return and the football value it produced drive the hindsight judgment. Against the assets Chicago Bears surrendered, the result supports New England Patriots Win and a C grade for Chicago Bears.

Trade 2 of 3
Detroit Lions and New England Patriots
Detroit moved from No. 51 to No. 43 in the 2018 second round, sending New England picks No. 51 and No. 117 to select running back Kerryon Johnson. Kerryon Johnson flashed as a rookie and topped 1,000 scrimmage yards in 2018, but injuries limited his Detroit tenure and he was gone after three seasons. New England turned the two selections into additional draft capital rather than one long-term star, giving the Patriots broader value and the better risk-adjusted return.
Assets Received
Detroit Lions
- Pick 2018 2nd round pick (43rd overall, Kerryon Johnson)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2018 2nd round pick (51st overall subsequently traded, Anthony Miller)
- Pick 2018 4th round pick (117th overall subsequently traded, Jordan Whitehead)

Chicago Bears and Houston Texans
Chicago sent Anthony Miller and a 2022 seventh-round pick to Houston for a 2022 fifth-round selection. The Bears later traded that No. 148 pick to Buffalo for Nos. 168 and 203, using No. 168 on tackle Braxton Jones. Jones became the most meaningful downstream asset from the transaction, giving Chicago the stronger long-term return from moving Miller.
Assets Received
Chicago Bears
- Pick 2022 5th round pick (148th overall subsequently traded to Buffalo for picks 168 and 203)
Houston Texans
- Player Anthony Miller
- Pick 2022 7th round pick (228th overall subsequently traded, Tariq Carpenter)
