Trade 1 of 4
Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots
Dallas moved from No. 27 to No. 24 in the 2010 draft and selected Dez Bryant. Bryant became the franchise's career leader in receiving touchdowns and a three-time Pro Bowler. New England moved down, added a third-round selection and drafted Devin McCourty at No. 27. McCourty became a longtime captain and a core member of three Super Bowl championship teams.
Assets Received
Dallas Cowboys
- Pick 2010 1st round pick (24th overall, Dez Bryant)

New England Patriots

Trade 2 of 4
Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco moved from No. 13 to No. 11 for tackle Anthony Davis, sending Denver an additional fourth-round pick. Davis became a 71-game starter and helped the 49ers reach Super Bowl XLVII, so San Francisco received real value. Denver's two incoming picks fueled a larger draft chain that produced Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and capital used in the Tim Tebow move, creating the stronger overall return.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2010 1st round pick (13th overall subsequently traded, Brandon Graham)
- Pick 2010 4th round pick (113th overall subsequently traded, Aaron Hernandez)
San Francisco 49ers
- Pick 2010 1st round pick (11th overall, Anthony Davis)

Trade 3 of 4
Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles
Denver sent the No. 13 pick to Philadelphia for Nos. 24, 70 and 87. The Eagles selected Brandon Graham, who became a 15-plus-year franchise leader and delivered the defining strip-sack of Super Bowl LII. Denver used No. 87 on Eric Decker and leveraged Nos. 24 and 70 in separate moves that helped acquire Demaryius Thomas and Tim Tebow. Both sides created exceptional value.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2010 first-round pick, No. 24 overall
- Pick 2010 third-round pick, No. 70 overall
- Pick 2010 third-round pick, No. 87 overall (Eric Decker)
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 2010 first-round pick, No. 13 overall (Brandon Graham)

Trade 4 of 4
Denver Broncos and New England Patriots
Denver moved from No. 24 to No. 22 and selected Demaryius Thomas, who became a five-time Pro Bowler and a central player on a Super Bowl champion. New England received No. 24 and No. 113, using the latter on Aaron Hernandez and the former in the next trade-down that helped produce Devin McCourty. Both teams created cornerstone value.
Assets Received
New England Patriots
- Pick 2010 1st round pick (24th overall, subsequently traded to Dallas)
- Pick 2010 4th round pick (113th overall, Aaron Hernandez)
