Trade 1 of 1
Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota moved out of the final first-round slot and received three selections that became Chris Cook, Everson Griffen, and Mickey Shuler. Griffen was the decisive outcome: a fourth-round pick who developed into a four-time Pro Bowler and long-term pass-rush fixture. Detroit's target, Jahvid Best, flashed real explosiveness before concussions ended his career. The injury was unfortunate, but Minnesota's combination of extra volume and Griffen's longevity produced the stronger realized return.
