Arnold Ebiketie

Carolina acquired quarterback Sam Darnold from the Jets for a 2021 sixth-round pick plus second- and fourth-round selections in 2022. The Panthers also exercised Darnold's fifth-year option, increasing the commitment to a quarterback who never became their long-term answer. New York converted a player it was replacing into substantial draft capital, including a premium second-rounder, making the Jets the decisive winner.

New York Giants acquired 2022 2nd round pick (38th overall subsequently traded, Arnold Ebiketie) and 2022 5th round pick (146th overall, Micah McFadden) from New York Jets for 2022 2nd round pick (36th overall, Breece Hall). The overall result favors New York Jets over New York Giants.

New York Giants acquired 2022 2nd round pick (43rd overall, Wan'Dale Robinson) and 2022 4th round pick (114th overall, Dane Belton) from Atlanta Falcons for 2022 2nd round pick (38th overall, Arnold Ebiketie). New York Giants received the stronger recorded football value, matching the New York Giants Win verdict.

Atlanta traded picks No. 43 and No. 114 to the Giants in the 2022 draft to move up to No. 38 for edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie. New York used the return on wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and safety Dane Belton. Ebiketie became a useful rotational pass rusher, but Robinson developed into a high-volume receiver and Belton added four seasons of defensive depth, giving the Giants more combined value.

The Jets sent picks 38 and 146 to the Giants to move up two spots for Breece Hall at No. 36. Hall became a centerpiece of the Jets offense, recovering from a major rookie knee injury to produce multiple high-volume seasons and eventually top 1,000 rushing yards. The Giants used No. 146 on Micah McFadden and later moved No. 38 in another trade. New York's NFC team received good value, but Hall became the best player.
