Trade 1 of 4

Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Denver acquired veteran cornerback Ben Smith from Philadelphia on April 18, 1994, sending the Eagles third- and fifth-round choices in the next two drafts. Smith immediately started 14 games for Denver in 1994, but the Eagles ultimately turned the two picks into receiver Chris Jones and linebacker Whit Marshall. Philadelphia's return lasted longer, giving the Eagles a narrow overall edge.

Assets Received

Denver Broncos
  • Player Ben Smith
Philadelphia Eagles
  • Pick 1995 3rd round pick (78th overall, Chris Jones)
  • Pick 1996 5th round pick (147th overall, Whit Marshall)

Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams

Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Atlanta traded up from No. 30 to No. 22 in 2013 for cornerback Desmond Trufant, sending the Rams third- and sixth-round picks and receiving a future seventh. Trufant became a seven-year Falcons starter and Pro Bowler. St. Louis selected Alec Ogletree at No. 30 and Stedman Bailey at No. 92, producing a strong linebacker and additional depth. Both clubs found starters, with Trufant's peak giving Atlanta a narrow edge.

Assets Received

Atlanta Falcons
  • Pick 2013 1st round pick (22nd overall, Desmond Trufant)
  • Pick 2015 7th round pick (249th overall, Akeem King)
Los Angeles Rams
  • Pick 2013 1st round pick (30th overall, Alec Ogletree)
  • Pick 2013 3rd round pick (92nd overall, Stedman Bailey)

Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: minor Confidence: medium

Los Angeles Rams acquired 2013 5th round pick (160th overall, Zac Stacy) from Houston Texans for 2013 6th round pick (184th overall subsequently traded, Mychal Rivera) and 2013 6th round pick (198th overall, Chris Jones).

Trade 4 of 4

Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Kansas City gave San Francisco No. 28 and No. 249 for Nos. 37, 105 and 178. The 49ers used the first-rounder on Joshua Garnett, who never became a durable starter. The Chiefs selected Chris Jones at No. 37, landing a franchise-defining defensive tackle, perennial Pro Bowl player and championship cornerstone. Parker Ehinger and D.J. White were secondary returns; Jones alone makes this overwhelming.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Pick 2016 2nd round pick (37th overall, Chris Jones)
  • Pick 2016 4th round pick (105th overall, Parker Ehinger)
  • Pick 2016 6th round pick (178th overall, D.J. White)
San Francisco 49ers
  • Pick 2016 1st round pick (28th overall, Joshua Garnett)
  • Pick 2016 7th round pick (249th overall, Prince Charles Iworah)
