Kenny Golladay

New England acquired 2017 3rd round pick (85th overall, Antonio Garcia) from Detroit Lions for 2017 3rd round pick (96th overall, Kenny Golladay) and 2017 4th round pick (124th overall, Jalen Reeves-Maybin). Lean; grade reflects realized player value, pick outcomes, uncertainty, and historical context rather than raw asset count.

The Jamie Collins trade became another example of New England moving a talented player before the market fully adjusted. Cleveland acquired Collins for a conditional draft pick, hoping to add a high-upside defensive centerpiece. The Browns got a useful player, but the Patriots gained value, protected their system, and still won the broader roster-management decision. It remains a priority indexing page because Collins is a classic Patriots sell-before-the-market-adjusts example.
