This looks at affect of this trade on the rest of the draft. I had just completed my latest draft on 4/3 using best available with position of some need as basis. Interesting to see the "ripple" effect of a couple of changes. This is only first two rounds. I assume Tennesee gives Ari their second round pick with swap of 1st rounders. In notes I show pick from my original draft. Where affected, I had team pick next best available player for that same position.

Round 1
Steelers:
Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State 
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I copycat Walt here. No affect of Trade
Lions:
Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson 
Another ripple. I originally had Lions taking Lukas here, but they have to go down a notch - still a very good option, but different
Buccaneers:
Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama 
I believe a very good RB makes a QB better. Bucs will go QB shopping next round. No affect of Trade
Seahawks:
Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, USC 
Seahawks continue what I think will be the best draft of the year. With Carter and this guy (and a pick in Round 2) it will be amazing. No affect of trade
Chargers:
Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan 
If only Chargers will really do this. They can fix a lot of run defense problems with this pick. No affect of trade
Ravens:
Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame 
Another ripple, I had them taking Murphy here. So they go to the next good Edge. Still not a bad pick, just not as good.
Vikings:
Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois 
While it tempting to pick up a DT or DE, this is position of greatest need, and he is very good. and used to cold weather. No affect of trade
Jaguars:
Brian Branch, S, Alabama
He solves a lot of secondary problems with his flexibilty No affect of trade
Giants:
Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa 
Giants really need a very good linebacker. While this may be a bit of a stretch, there aren't a lot of quality linebackers or DT's so get while the getting is good. No affect of trade
Cowboys:
Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson
While the Cowboys were disapointed when Gibbs was taken, they get a chance to shore up run defense here. I was tempted to plug Ika from Baylor, but there is a lot of talent and size with Bresee. No affect of trade
Bills:
Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia 
Another ripple. I originally had them taking O'Cyrus Torrance, but look there is a better Guard available. Again not much difference, but some
Bengals:
Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia
This is a perfect spot for Nolan. While he is a physical freak, he has not performed as expected. With the teammates and coaching he will get, he can be something special . No affect of trade
Eagles:
Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh 
The rich just keeping richer. Another perfect fit. Calijah can hide between the monsters of the Eagle Dline and find the holes to get to the ball. No affect of trade
Chiefs:
Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College 
Too bad they didn't have him in this years Superbowl. It could have made a difference. It must be nice not having so many holes to fill.No affect of trade
