Trade 1 of 3
Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots
Baltimore moved up to No. 64 for tackle Adam Terry, sending New England picks 84 and 195 in 2005 plus a 2006 third-rounder. Terry gave the Ravens several seasons of starting and reserve line play, so the move was not empty. New England landed starting corner Ellis Hobbs and retained additional draft capital that fed later trades, producing the stronger overall return.

New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia acquired cornerback Ellis Hobbs from New England for picks No. 137 and No. 141. Hobbs started eight games in 2009, returned a kickoff for a touchdown and remained part of the Eagles secondary until a neck injury ended his 2010 season. New England immediately flipped the two fifth-rounders to Baltimore for Rich Ohrnberger and Jake Ingram. The Patriots found some depth, but Hobbs provided the stronger direct contribution.
