Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay traded Carlton Davis plus 2024 and 2025 sixth-round picks to Detroit for No. 92, which became Jalen McMillan. Davis gave the Lions a strong one-year starting corner during their 15-win 2024 season before leaving in free agency. McMillan scored eight touchdowns as a rookie, then lost much of 2025 to injury. Both teams received exactly the kind of value they sought, making an even grade more appropriate now.
