D’Andre Swift is coming home:

Trade: After using their top pick on RB Jahmyr Gibbs, the Lions are trading D’Andre Swift to the Philadelphia Eagles, per sources. The trade is a homecoming; Swift is from Philadelphia and went to high school there at St. Joseph’s Prep before attending, of course, Georgia. pic.twitter.com/AUUpLSw1Kr

Only a 4th and 7th for a big play running back!? I thought Howie wanted every GM to feel good about the trades they make:

Another Georgia Bulldog for the roster:

Howie is dealing today! I thought this was gonna be a pretty nice little Saturday with only three picks. Was gonna go to Home Depot. Buy some wallpaper, different flooring. Stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I don’t know. I didn’t know if we’d have enough time. But instead Howie trades up for Kelee Ringo. DAWG! And then trades for D’Andre Swift. DAWG!

Swift presumably fell out of favor with the Lions after they selected Jahmyr Gibbs in the first round. He can both run and catch out of the backfield. He had a less productive season last year than his previous two, not even getting 100 rushing attempts, but he averaged 5.5 YPC when he got the ball. Imagine what he can do behind the best line in football. If Rashaad Penny can stay healthy this running back crew might be the deepest in franchise history! Just an embarrassment of riches. Howie is playing Madden Franchise Mode in real life.
