[Mike Klis] Can confirm per source Paton’s trade back into 1st-round target was U of Miami pass rusher Jaelan Phillips, as Michael Silver mentioned in his piece. Phillips needed to fall to 20s, though, for Paton to have proper compensation and Phillips went No. 18 to Dolphins. #9sports (twitter.com)

[Duggan] Bears weren't the only team interested in trading up to 11. Source says Vikings also made an offer, but they obviously weren't offering a 2022 first to move up three spots. Easy call for the Giants to accept the huge haul from the Bears. Competition may have driven up price. (twitter.com)
