Trade 1 of 2
New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers
The Jets acquired Santonio Holmes for the 155th pick and received two productive seasons plus major 2010 playoff contributions. Pittsburgh then flipped that same pick to Arizona for cornerback Bryant McFadden and pick No. 195, which became Antonio Brown. Holmes was a worthwhile bargain for New York, but Brown developed into a four-time first-team All-Pro and one of the era's dominant receivers. The downstream value makes Pittsburgh the long-term winner.

Pittsburgh sent a fifth-round pick to Arizona and received cornerback Bryant McFadden plus the sixth-round selection used on Antonio Brown. McFadden returned as a starter, while Brown became a four-time first-team All-Pro and one of the most productive receivers of his era. Arizona selected John Skelton, who provided some quarterback starts but could not balance the return.
