Detroit Lions Win

Detroit acquired 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) from Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals for 2023 1st round pick (6th overall, Paris Johnson) and 2023 3rd round pick (81st overall subsequently traded, Tyjae Spears). Strict hindsight favors Detroit. The Lions' incoming side carried meaningfully stronger realized value than the assets sent to Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals, either through premium player production, better draft conversion, or a cleaner long-term roster outcome.
