Benson could be a contributor on special teams right away, and at 6-foot, 180 pounds, he fits Detroit’s preference for a speedy receiver who could potentially spread the field deep.
I hate this, giving up a 5th for a guy who is no more proven than Kennedy?Detroit Lions acquire WR Trinity Benson in trade with Denver Broncos
Detroit Lions send fifth- and seventh-round picks in 2022 to the Broncos for Trinity Benson and a sixth-round pick in 2023.www.freep.com
The Lions acquired Denver Broncos receiver Trinity Benson via trade late Monday night, a person familiar with the deal told the Free Press.
In exchange for Benson, the Lions gave up fifth- and seventh-round draft picks in 2022 and acquired a sixth-round pick in 2023, KUSA-TV in Denver reported.

This is a Quinn level move.
Tim Patrick making it in the NFL blows my mind, he was either gauranteed for a critical drop, or an untimely injury. Physical tools had always been elite thoughIDK about that. I get it that this player was on their PS for two years but that WR group on Denver was pretty stacked with Sutton, Jeudy, KJ Hamler, the latter two just drafted in 2020.
Holmes was the LAR Director of CFB scouting, so he must've have seen something in Benson that "he currently thinks" could be a better option going forward.
Most of us "fans" have liked what he has done so far with this draft and how we perceive those players to become good to really NFL players.
There's absolutely no guarantee that Benson was/wasn't going to make Denver's final 53. Tim Patrick was another possibility of making their final 53.
