Transaction Snapshot
Recorded Trade
Trade 1 of 1
Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots
New England moved from No. 27 to No. 21 for Chandler Jones, giving Cincinnati the No. 93 pick as the premium. Jones produced 36 sacks in four Patriots seasons and contributed to the Super Bowl XLIX championship before being traded in 2016. The return from that later trade helped New England acquire Joe Thuney and Malcolm Mitchell. Cincinnati still landed long-term starting guard Kevin Zeitler plus Brandon Thompson, making this a rare draft trade with major value on both sides.
