Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Cleveland traded pick No. 43 to Houston in the 2015 draft and received Nos. 51, 116 and 195. The Browns used No. 51 on Nate Orchard and No. 195 on Malcolm Johnson, while No. 116 later moved again rather than directly becoming Rodney Gunter for Cleveland. The added volume did not produce a player comparable to Houston linebacker Benardrick McKinney, leaving Cleveland behind in hindsight.
Trade 2 of 3
Houston moved up from No. 82 to No. 70 for Arizona State receiver Jaelen Strong, sending New York DeVier Posey plus picks No. 82, 152 and 229. Strong never became the starting receiver Houston hoped to secure, finishing his Texans tenure with limited production. The Jets' return was modest too, but Lorenzo Mauldin provided useful pass-rush snaps and the larger package gave New York more realized value.
Trade 3 of 3
Jacksonville Jaguars received 2015 4th round pick (104th overall, James Sample); 2015 7th round pick (229th overall, Ben Koyack) in the 2015-05-02 exchange with New York Jets. James Sample's career was limited by injuries, but Ben Koyack became useful tight-end depth and caught the winning touchdown in Jacksonville's 2017 Wild Card victory. The direct package is the basis for the hindsight grade, with later movement of an acquired selection treated separately. That supports Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
