Detroit Lions and New England Patriots

New England Patriots Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Detroit traded Kyle Van Noy and a 2017 seventh-round pick to New England for a 2017 sixth-rounder that became Brad Kaaya. Van Noy quickly found a larger role in the Patriots defense, became a multi-year starter and contributed to championship teams. Kaaya never became a Detroit solution, and the Lions received essentially no lasting return. New England's acquisition became a textbook fit-and-development success.

Assets Received

Detroit Lions
  • Pick 2017 6th round pick (215th overall, Brad Kaaya)
New England Patriots
  • Player Kyle Van Noy
