Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns
Atlanta paid Cleveland five draft choices to move from No. 27 to No. 6 in 2011 and select Julio Jones. The price was enormous, but Jones became a franchise icon, seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro who helped Atlanta reach Super Bowl LI. Cleveland turned the package into several players and additional moves, but none approached Jones's impact. The Falcons' aggressive bet delivered a true superstar and ultimately wins the trade.
