Trade 1 of 1
Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions
Detroit traded veteran quarterback Scott Mitchell to Baltimore for the 72nd pick in 1999 and a 2000 fifth-rounder. The Lions subsequently moved both selections in later transactions, preserving value without keeping either pick to draft a player directly. Baltimore added an experienced quarterback but also acquired Tony Banks that offseason, limiting Mitchell’s role. Neither side produced enough direct impact to create a decisive winner.
