Then we have Bucky Irving running back two. We have Chase Brown running back three. So, we have the best running back room in this league and it's not close... trading away Bucky Irving for Purdy and Jefferson. Yeah, your quarterback room sucks, and you have good running backs. So, this is a no-brainer.

STACKED’s take

RB2 in elite backfield; expendable in QB-needy trades.

Irving is the running back two in Detroit's elite backfield, described as 'the best running back room in this league and it's not close.' He serves as a solid secondary option behind Gibbs. In trade analysis, Irving's value is expendable given roster construction—the source frames trading him away for Patrick Mahomes and Justin Jefferson as 'a no-brainer' for a team with weak quarterback depth but good running backs.
