Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Detroit moved down from No. 6 to No. 12 in 2023 and came away with Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta and additional draft capital, while Arizona moved up for tackle Paris Johnson Jr. Gibbs has made three Pro Bowls, scored an NFL-record 49 touchdowns through three seasons and surpassed 5,000 scrimmage yards; LaPorta has 2,104 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns. Johnson has been a quality starting tackle, but Detroit’s two-star return is exceptional.

Assets Received

Detroit Lions
  • Pick 2023 1st round pick (12th overall, Jahmyr Gibbs), 2023 2nd round pick (34th overall, Sam LaPorta) and 2023 5th round pick (168th overall subsequently traded, Owen Pappoe)
