Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns
Buffalo Bills Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Buffalo traded Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland for the first pick of the third round, No. 65, creating valuable draft flexibility while moving on at quarterback. The Bills later packaged No. 65 with No. 22 to climb to No. 16 for linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. Taylor opened 2018 as Cleveland’s starter but made only three starts before Baker Mayfield took over, leaving Buffalo with the stronger long-term return.
Buffalo moved from No. 22 to No. 16 for linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, sending Baltimore a third-round pick and swapping a fifth-rounder into the deal. Edmunds became an immediate starter, made two Pro Bowls and spent five seasons directing the Bills’ defense. Baltimore’s return became even larger through subsequent moves, helping create the picks used on Hayden Hurst, Mark Andrews, Kenny Young and other players while also feeding the later Lamar Jackson trade package.
Baltimore Ravens Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Oakland sent Baltimore picks No. 75, No. 152 and No. 212 to move up to No. 65 and select tackle Brandon Parker. Oakland traded three picks to move to No. 65 for Brandon Parker, who became a useful swing tackle and made 33 starts for the Raiders. Baltimore turned the package into a chain that included Mark Andrews and Bradley Bozeman, with Andrews becoming a first-team All-Pro and one of the franchise's leading receivers. The Ravens extracted dramatically more long-term value.
