Detroit traded veteran quarterback Scott Mitchell to Baltimore for the 72nd pick in 1999 and a 2000 fifth-rounder. The Lions subsequently moved both selections in later transactions, preserving value without keeping either pick to draft a player directly. Baltimore added an experienced quarterback but also acquired Tony Banks that offseason, limiting Mitchell’s role. Neither side produced enough direct impact to create a decisive winner.
Detroit acquired running back Greg Hill from St. Louis on August 31, 1999 for fifth- and seventh-round picks in the 2000 draft. Hill gave the Lions 542 rushing yards, 77 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 14 games, starting eight times during a playoff season. St. Louis gained two future selections, but the immediate on-field return Detroit received makes the deal a modest Lions win rather than a major swing.
Chicago Bears received 2000 4th round pick (125th overall, Reggie Austin), 2000 5th round pick (150th overall subsequently traded, John Milem) and 2000 7th round pick (225th overall subsequently traded, Rashidi Barnes) from Los Angeles Rams for 2000 4th round pick (104th overall, Kaulana Noa). The recorded outcome favors Chicago Bears.
The exchange of 2000 5th round pick (150th overall, John Milem) for 2000 6th round pick (170th overall, Frank Murphy) and 2000 7th round pick (209th overall subsequently traded, Er. stayed close enough in realized value to remain a true even verdict
