Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
San Francisco acquired guard Laken Tomlinson from Detroit for a 2019 fifth-round pick and received five seasons of durable starting line play. Tomlinson started 80 regular-season games for the 49ers, helped the club reach Super Bowl LIV and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2021. Detroit later used the acquired fifth-round asset in the trade for Damon Harrison, so the Lions generated real value, but Tomlinson's sustained tenure was stronger.
Trade 2 of 3
Detroit paid a 2019 fifth-round pick for Damon Harrison during the 2018 season and immediately added one of football's premier interior run defenders. Harrison stepped into the starting lineup and helped a defense that badly needed strength in the middle. The Giants later used the incoming pick as part of their move for Deandre Baker, but Detroit received the clearer direct football payoff.
Trade 3 of 3
The Giants sent picks 37, 132 and 142 to Seattle to move into the end of the 2019 first round for cornerback Deandre Baker. Baker started 15 games as a rookie but was waived before his second season and never provided the long-term value New York expected. Seattle used the return to continue trading down and also selected Ugo Amadi and Ben Burr-Kirven, producing much more roster value from the package.
