Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots
Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Arizona traded picks No. 58 and No. 89 to New England for No. 47 and selected linebacker Daryl Washington. Washington started 53 games in four seasons, made the 2012 Pro Bowl and produced 18 sacks before suspensions ended his Arizona career. New England later turned the two picks into Brandon Spikes, Zoltan Mesko and a future second-rounder, creating useful depth but not matching Washington's peak impact.
New England Patriots Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Houston moved from No. 62 to No. 58 and selected running back Ben Tate, while New England received No. 62 and a fifth-rounder used on Brandon Spikes and Zoltan Mesko. Tate became a productive complement to Arian Foster and rushed for 1,992 yards in three Texans seasons. Spikes started regularly and Mesko handled punting duties for three years, giving New England a slightly broader return.
