Trade 1 of 2
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.

Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots
Jacksonville paid pick No. 232 and a 2010 second-rounder to move up for cornerback Derek Cox at No. 73. Cox became a four-year starter and intercepted 12 passes for the Jaguars, so Jacksonville received solid value. New England selected Julian Edelman at No. 232 and later used the future second-rounder in the move that produced Rob Gronkowski, giving the Patriots a historically superior return.
Assets Received
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Pick 2009 3rd round pick (73rd overall, Derek Cox)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2009 7th round pick (232nd overall, Julian Edelman)
- Pick 2010 2nd round pick (44th overall subsequently traded, Lamarr Houston)
