Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders

Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major Confidence: high

The Robert Griffin III trade remains one of the most famous quarterback gambles of the modern draft era. Washington moved a massive package to select Griffin, who delivered a spectacular rookie season but not long-term stability. The Rams turned the pick into a haul of premium assets, giving St. Louis the stronger long-term result. The deal remains a priority evergreen page because RGIII's rookie season, injury arc, and the Rams' asset haul still draw major trade-history interest.

Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams

Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Atlanta traded up from No. 30 to No. 22 in 2013 for cornerback Desmond Trufant, sending the Rams third- and sixth-round picks and receiving a future seventh. Trufant became a seven-year Falcons starter and Pro Bowler. St. Louis selected Alec Ogletree at No. 30 and Stedman Bailey at No. 92, producing a strong linebacker and additional depth. Both clubs found starters, with Trufant's peak giving Atlanta a narrow edge.

Assets Received

Atlanta Falcons
  • Pick 2013 1st round pick (22nd overall, Desmond Trufant)
  • Pick 2015 7th round pick (249th overall, Akeem King)
