Trade 1 of 3
New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New England acquired tight end Alex Smith for a 2010 fifth-round pick, but Smith was released at final cuts and never played a regular-season game for the Patriots. Tampa Bay's pick became No. 153; the Buccaneers packaged it with No. 42 to move to No. 39 for Arrelious Benn. Benn started 24 games and caught 59 passes for 862 yards and five touchdowns for Tampa Bay, giving the Buccaneers the clear edge.

Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay moved from No. 42 to No. 39 in 2010 for receiver Arrelious Benn, sending Oakland an additional fifth-round pick. Benn's career was derailed by injuries. Oakland turned No. 42 into picks 44 and 190, selecting Lamarr Houston and Travis Goethel, and used the fifth-round asset in the Kirk Morrison deal that helped produce Jacoby Ford. The Raiders converted the trade-down into substantially more value.

Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville sent the 108th pick to Oakland for veteran linebacker Kirk Morrison and pick No. 153, then used the fifth-rounder on Austen Lane. Morrison started all 16 games in 2010, while Lane developed into a multi-year defensive-line contributor. Oakland’s Jacoby Ford was an explosive receiver and returner, including three kickoff-return touchdowns as a rookie, making this a competitive trade that Jacksonville wins narrowly.

- Pick 2010 4th round pick (108th overall, Jacoby Ford)
