Biggest Dominoes Still to Fall in NFL RB Market After D'Andre Swift 2023 Draft Trade

While the football world was largely (and rightfully) focused on the NFL draft over the past three days, we had some player movement that didn't directly involve rookie selections.

The Detroit Lions used the 12th overall pick on Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs, which made veteran D'Andre Swift expendable. Two days later, Detroit sent Swift and the No. 249 overall pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 219th overall pick and a 2025 fourth-rounder, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

While that isn't a ton of value, it's at least something for a player who didn't seem to have a future in Detroit beyond this season.
