Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots
New England Patriots Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
New England traded the 50th overall pick to Carolina during the 2003 draft and moved up to No. 45, sending pick No. 120 with it. Carolina selected center Bruce Nelson at 50 and later used No. 120 in another move, while the Patriots chose wide receiver Bethel Johnson at 45 and eventually reacquired 120 to draft Asante Samuel. The Patriots' broader draft maneuvering produced the stronger value.
New England Patriots Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
New England Patriots received 2003 4th round pick (120th overall, Asante Samuel). Denver Broncos received 2003 4th round pick (128th overall, Bryant McNeal) and 2003 5th round pick (157th overall, Ben Claxton). The final review favors New England Patriots because that return produced stronger practical football value.
Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Atlanta acquired four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel from Philadelphia for seventh-round pick No. 229. Samuel started 15 games in 2012, intercepted five passes and helped the Falcons reach the NFC Championship Game, then returned for a second season. Philadelphia used the pick on Bryce Brown, who flashed as a rookie and provided useful backfield depth. Brown had value, but Atlanta obtained an established impact starter for a minimal price.
