Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers
Detroit moved up three spots for Brian Branch, who became one of the league's most productive young defensive backs. Green Bay moved down, added pick No. 159 for Dontayvion Wicks, then flipped No. 48 to Tampa Bay for the choices used on Jayden Reed and Karl Brooks. Branch is the best single player, but Green Bay created three productive contributors. Both sides earned an excellent return.

- Pick 2023 2nd round pick (48th overall, subsequently traded to Tampa Bay)
- Pick 2023 5th round pick (159th overall, Dontayvion Wicks)
Detroit Lions

Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders
Las Vegas sent picks 38 and 141 to Indianapolis to move three spots for tight end Michael Mayer. Mayer has started 32 games and produced 83 catches for 788 yards and three touchdowns through three seasons, useful production but below the expectations attached to the move. Indianapolis immediately traded No. 38 again and later moved No. 141, multiplying its draft capital. The Colts’ flexibility and Mayer’s modest output give Indianapolis the better side.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Pick 2023 2nd round pick (35th overall, Michael Mayer)
Indianapolis Colts
- Pick 2023 2nd round pick (38th overall subsequently traded, Matthew Bergeron)
- Pick 2023 5th round pick (141st overall subsequently traded, Jaquelin Roy)
