Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints
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.
Assets Received
New Orleans Saints
- Pick 2003 1st round pick (6th overall, Johnathan Sullivan), 2003 2nd round pick (37th overall, Jon Stinchcomb) and 2003 4th round pick (102nd overall, Montrae Holland)
Arizona Cardinals
- Pick 2003 1st round pick (17th overall, Bryant Johnson), 2003 1st round pick (18th overall, Calvin Pace) and 2003 2nd round pick (54th overall, Anquan Boldin)

Trade 2 of 3
Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens
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.
Assets Received
Arizona Cardinals
- Pick 2010 3rd round pick (88th overall, Andre Roberts)
- Pick 2010 4th round pick (123rd overall subsequently traded, Al Woods)
Baltimore Ravens
- Player Anquan Boldin
- Pick 2010 5th round pick (157th overall, Arthur Jones)

Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers
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.
