Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots
Green Bay Packers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Green Bay traded picks No. 41, 73 and 83 to New England for No. 26 and No. 162, then selected Clay Matthews and Jamon Meredith. Matthews became a six-time Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro and one of the defining defenders of the Packers' Super Bowl XLV era. New England received Darius Butler, Brandon Tate and valuable maneuvering room from No. 73, but nothing in the return matched Matthews.
Baltimore moved from No. 26 to No. 23, adding a fifth-round pick to select tackle Michael Oher. Oher started every game in five Ravens seasons and was part of the Super Bowl XLVII championship team. New England immediately recycled picks 26 and 162 to Green Bay for selections 41, 73 and 83, then continued trading from that pool. The Patriots created substantial draft flexibility while Baltimore secured a durable starter, making this a legitimate win for both sides.
