Trade 1 of 3

Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans

Houston Texans Win Tier: minor Confidence: high

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.

Assets Received

Cleveland Browns
  • Pick 2015 2nd round pick (51st overall, Nate Orchard)
  • Pick 2015 4th round pick (116th overall; subsequently traded by Cleveland)
  • Pick 2015 6th round pick (195th overall, Malcolm Johnson)
Houston Texans
  • Pick 2015 2nd round pick (43rd overall, Benardrick McKinney)
  • Pick 2015 7th round pick (229th overall; subsequently traded by Houston)

Trade 2 of 3

Houston Texans and New York Jets

New York Jets Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

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.

Assets Received

Houston Texans
  • Pick 2015 3rd round pick (70th overall, Jaelen Strong)
New York Jets
  • Player DeVier Posey
  • Pick 2015 3rd round pick (82nd overall, Lorenzo Mauldin)
  • Pick 2015 5th round pick (152nd overall, Jarvis Harrison)
  • Pick 2015 7th round pick (229th overall subsequently traded, Ben Koyack)

Trade 3 of 3

Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars Win Tier: minor Confidence: high

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.

Assets Received

Jacksonville Jaguars
  • Pick 2015 4th round pick (104th overall, James Sample)
  • Pick 2015 7th round pick (229th overall, Ben Koyack)
New York Jets
  • Pick 2015 4th round pick (103rd overall, Bryce Petty)
