Trade 1 of 1
Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots
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.
