Detroit Lions and New England Patriots
New England Patriots Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Detroit traded Kyle Van Noy and a 2017 seventh-round pick to New England for a 2017 sixth-rounder that became Brad Kaaya. Van Noy quickly found a larger role in the Patriots defense, became a multi-year starter and contributed to championship teams. Kaaya never became a Detroit solution, and the Lions received essentially no lasting return. New England's acquisition became a textbook fit-and-development success.
New England Patriots acquired 2017 6th round pick (211th overall, Conor McDermott) from Dallas Cowboys for 2017 6th round pick (216th overall, Marquez White) and 2017 7th round pick (239th overall, Noah Brown). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
