Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota moved up three spots in the 2007 second round and selected wide receiver Sidney Rice at No. 44, sending Atlanta Nos. 41 and 121. Rice developed into Brett Favre's top deep threat during the Vikings' 2009 NFC Championship run, posting 1,312 yards and eight touchdowns that season. Atlanta used No. 41 on cornerback Chris Houston, whose uneven three-year Falcons tenure left Minnesota with the stronger payoff.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Pick 2007 2nd round pick (44th overall, Sidney Rice)
- Pick 2007 4th round pick (121st overall subsequently traded, Marcus Thomas)
Atlanta Falcons
- Pick 2007 2nd round pick (41st overall, Chris Houston)

Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions
Atlanta Falcons received 2010 6th round pick (171st overall, Shann Schillinger); 2011 7th round pick (210th overall, Andrew Jackson) in the 2010-03-08 exchange with Detroit Lions. Shann Schillinger became a reserve and special-teams safety, while Andrew Jackson did not create meaningful NFL value for Atlanta. The direct return and the football value it produced drive the hindsight judgment. Against the assets Atlanta Falcons surrendered, the result supports Detroit Lions Win and a C- grade for Atlanta Falcons.
