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.
Assets Received

- Pick 1999 3rd round pick (72nd overall subsequently traded, Grey Ruegamer)
