Detroit Lions and New England Patriots

New England Patriots Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

New England moved up two spots in the 2001 second round and selected tackle Matt Light, while Detroit turned the return into center Dominic Raiola and linebacker Jason Glenn. Light started 153 games and won three Super Bowls with New England. Raiola was also an exceptional long-term return, appearing in 219 games and starting 203. The Patriots win narrowly because Light paired elite durability with championship-level value.
