Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints
Arizona Cardinals / St. Louis Cardinals Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
New Orleans paid an enormous package to move from picks 17 and 18 to No. 6 in 2003, also exchanging second- and fourth-round value with Arizona. The Saints selected defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan, while Arizona's return produced Bryant Johnson, Calvin Pace and Anquan Boldin. Sullivan became a major first-round disappointment and Boldin became a franchise star, creating one of the widest draft-trade gaps of the era.
Baltimore acquired Anquan Boldin and a fifth-round pick for third- and fourth-round selections, then watched Boldin become a dependable playoff receiver and a central figure in the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII championship. Arizona used the third-rounder on Andre Roberts and later moved the fourth-round pick, receiving some useful value but no comparable star. The fifth-rounder Baltimore received became Arthur Jones, adding another contributor to an already lopsided return.
San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
San Francisco acquired Anquan Boldin from Baltimore for a sixth-round pick immediately after Boldin helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII. He became the 49ers’ leading receiver in 2013 with 85 catches, 1,179 yards and seven touchdowns, then re-signed and remained productive for two more seasons. Baltimore’s pick No. 199 was moved in another draft trade. The enormous difference in direct team value makes this a decisive 49ers win.
