Oakland moved from No. 10 to No. 2 in the 1997 draft, also receiving a sixth-rounder, and selected defensive tackle Darrell Russell. New Orleans received Daryl Hobbs plus picks 10, 39 and 107, using the first on guard Chris Naeole. Russell reached a higher peak with two Pro Bowls, while Naeole delivered much greater career longevity. The trade was productive for both sides and finishes close to even.
