Chronological Timeline
4 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 4
Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions
Detroit traded veteran quarterback Scott Mitchell to Baltimore for the 72nd pick in 1999 and a 2000 fifth-round selection. The Lions later moved both picks in separate transactions, preserving flexibility without drafting directly from either slot. Mitchell joined a Baltimore quarterback room that also added Tony Banks and never became a long-term starter, leaving both clubs with modest realized returns.

Detroit Lions
- Pick 1999 3rd round pick (72nd overall subsequently traded, Grey Ruegamer)
- Pick 2000 5th round pick (150th overall subsequently traded, John Milem)
Baltimore Ravens
- Player Scott Mitchell

Trade 2 of 4
Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams
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.
Assets Received
Detroit Lions
- Player Greg Hill
Los Angeles Rams
- Pick 2000 5th round pick (150th overall; subsequently traded)
- Pick 2000 7th round pick (220th overall, Andrew Kline)

Trade 3 of 4
Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams
Chicago traded down from pick No. 104 in the 2000 draft, sending the selection to the Rams for Nos. 125, 150 and 225. Los Angeles used No. 104 on tackle Kaulana Noa, while Chicago used No. 125 on defensive back Reggie Austin and retained two additional pieces of draft capital. The Bears created slightly more aggregate value and earn a C+ to C win.
Assets Received
Chicago Bears
- Pick 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)
Los Angeles Rams
- Pick 2000 4th round pick (104th overall, Kaulana Noa)

Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers
Chicago got no regular-season games from Frank Murphy, but its No. 209 pick became one half of a two-pick package that produced three later selections. That package helped bring punter Brent Bartholomew for seven games and safety Mike Green, who played 81 Bears games with 45 starts. Because No. 225 was also required, No. 209 gets only proportional credit. San Francisco received 18 reserve games from John Milem. Chicago edges it, C+ to C.
Assets Received
San Francisco 49ers
- Pick 2000 5th round pick (150th overall, John Milem)
Chicago Bears
- Pick 2000 6th round pick (170th overall, Frank Murphy)
- Pick 2000 7th round pick (209th overall subsequently traded, Eric Chandler)
