Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams
Atlanta acquired Bucky Pope but never received a regular-season appearance from him; after a later Vikings trade was voided, the Falcons released him before he resurfaced with Green Bay. Los Angeles received 14 games and one start from Jim Wilson, while Bob Sanders was released without appearing for the Rams. Wilson's one season is the only realized value, giving the Rams a modest C-to-D win.

Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh traded up from No. 44 to No. 38 in the 2004 second round for cornerback Ricardo Colclough, sending Indianapolis the 44th and 107th picks. The Colts used No. 44 on Bob Sanders, who became a first-team All-Pro and the 2007 AP Defensive Player of the Year, while Kendyll Pope added depth from the fourth-round pick. Colclough never became a comparable starter, making Indianapolis the overwhelming winner.
