Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Philadelphia traded a future sixth-round pick to Detroit for the 220th choice in 2010 and selected linebacker Jamar Chaney. Chaney became an immediate contributor, starting 23 games for the Eagles across three seasons and recording 92 tackles with three interceptions in 2011. Detroit later used the future pick in another transaction, but Philadelphia received the stronger direct football value from the original exchange.
Detroit Lions acquired Alphonso Smith and 2011 7th round pick (pick forfeited due to tampering) from Denver Broncos for Dan Gronkowski and 2011 6th round pick (186th overall subsequently traded, D.J. Smith). The overall result favors Denver Broncos over Detroit Lions.
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Denver traded picks No. 141 and No. 186 to Green Bay for No. 129 and No. 204, then selected tight ends Julius Thomas and Virgil Green. Thomas became a two-time Pro Bowler and major red-zone weapon during Peyton Manning's record-setting Denver years, while Green built a long career as a in-line tight end. Green Bay's D.J. Williams and D.J. Smith provided only limited returns, making Denver the clear winner.
