Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Minnesota traded the second pick in the 1985 draft to Atlanta for selections No. 4 and No. 60. The Falcons used No. 2 on elite guard Bill Fralic, while the Vikings selected Chris Doleman at No. 4 and Tim Meamber at No. 60. Fralic became an outstanding lineman, but Doleman's Hall of Fame pass-rushing career gives Minnesota the slight edge in a trade that benefited both teams.
Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings completed this exchange on 1994-04-24. Minnesota sent Chris Doleman and the 45th pick to Atlanta for the 40th pick and Atlanta's 1995 first-rounder. Minnesota's return was respectable: Alexander became a multi-year starter and Palmer contributed as a receiver and returner. The stronger overall return belongs to Atlanta Falcons. The grades reflect direct team value plus clearly traceable use of any acquired pick that was later traded.
