With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend upon us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. That includes a deal made in August, which moved wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Lions selected Texas Tech DT Skyler Gill-Howard with the 205th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Patrick struggled in his lone season with the Jaguars. He only caught 15 passes for 187 yards and three touchdowns. Those numbers ended up being career lows for the former undrafted wideout out of Utah.

Given that Patrick did not re-sign with the Jaguars after his 2025 campaign, the Lions are the current winners of the deal. The Lions need to develop the rookie they acquired in the deal for them to be viewed as true winners of this trade.
