NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
Buffalo moved up in the 2022 fifth round for Khalil Shakir, while Chicago received Braxton Jones and Trestan Ebner value. Shakir became a useful receiver, and Jones became a starting left tackle. This grades as an even late-round win for both sides.
Buffalo Bills Received

Chicago Bears Received
- pick 2022 5th round pick (168th overall, Braxton Jones ) and 2022 6th round pick (203rd overall, Trestan Ebner )
Trade Analysis
Buffalo should get credit for targeting Shakir, who became a real passing-game contributor. Chicago also did well by landing Jones, a starting tackle, while adding another late pick. The value is strong enough on both sides to avoid forcing a winner.
