Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles
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.

Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams
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)

Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams
St. Louis traded picks No. 184 and No. 198 to Houston on April 27, 2013 to move up to No. 160 and select running back Zac Stacy. Stacy played 27 regular-season games with 17 starts over two Rams seasons, rushing for 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 44 catches for 293 yards and another score. His 973-yard rookie season made him the clearest realized value in the exchange before St. Louis traded him to the Jets in 2015.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Rams
- Pick 2013 fifth round pick (#160-Zac Stacy)
Houston Texans
- Pick 2013 sixth round pick (#184, later packaged with Houston #233 for #176-David Quessenberry)

Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers
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.
