Trade 1 of 2
Detroit Lions and New England Patriots
Detroit sent New England a 2019 third-round pick in exchange for the No. 114 pick in the 2018 draft, which the Lions used on defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand. Detroit used No. 114 on Da'Shawn Hand, who had a promising rookie season but struggled to stay healthy and never became a long-term fixture. New England received a 2019 third-round pick, preserving future draft value but ultimately moving that selection again. Neither side converted the exchange into a lasting cornerstone, leaving the realized return close enough for an even verdict.
Assets Received
Detroit Lions
- Pick 2018 4th round pick (114th overall, Da'Shawn Hand)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2019 3rd round pick (73rd overall subsequently traded, David Montgomery)

Chicago Bears and New England Patriots
Chicago moved from No. 87 to No. 73 in the 2019 draft for David Montgomery and also received pick No. 205, used on Duke Shelley. Montgomery became the Bears’ lead back for four seasons, topping 800 rushing yards every year and producing more than 4,800 yards from scrimmage in Chicago. New England received Damien Harris plus additional draft capital, making the price meaningful but still worthwhile for the Bears.
Assets Received
Chicago Bears
- Pick 2019 3rd round pick (73rd overall, David Montgomery)
- Pick 2019 6th round pick (205th overall, Duke Shelley)
New England Patriots
