Patriots acquire LB Kyle Van Noy, 7th-round pick from Lions for 6th-round pick
This is the first trade of the day, and it isn't a very exciting one. It does have some potential for the Patriots, however.

Kyle Van Noy has not played well thus far in his 3-year career. He's been a limited player for the Lions this season, struggling in every regard. However, there are two things to consider. First, Bill Belichick frequently does well in these mid-season deals to acquire depth, so perhaps this trade will work out as well. Second, Van Noy was a second-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, so he definitely has potential. Perhaps Belichick will be able to get the most out of him.

Even better for the Patriots, they're not really giving anything up. They're just moving back from the sixth to the seventh round, which isn't any sort of issue. The Patriots are the clear winners of this trade because of potential, though I won't give the Lions a bad grade either because they at least got something for a player who wasn't performing well for them.

Grade for Patriots - A-
Grade for Lions - B-

Rb in the first? I know we're thin but no thanks.

I thought the same. Defense...linebacker, D line, and D backs.

I agree 100% KC. The way Dalvin Cook is playing tonight though...wow.
