Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers
Cleveland moved up six spots in the third round of the 1995 draft for quarterback Eric Zeier, sending Green Bay picks 90 and 160. Zeier made 12 NFL starts and went 4-8. The Packers used No. 90 on Antonio Freeman, who became Brett Favre’s top receiver, caught 61 career touchdowns and starred on a Super Bowl champion. Green Bay also received the extra fifth-round pick, making the trade a major Packers win.

Trade 2 of 3
Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Baltimore Ravens received 1999 6th round pick (185th overall subsequently traded, Talance Sawyer) in the 1999-04-17 exchange with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baltimore moved the acquired No. 185 pick to Minnesota for veteran lineman Everett Lindsay, who started all sixteen games for the Ravens in 1999. Against Tampa Bay Buccaneers' return of Eric Zeier, that outcome supports a B grade. The transaction is judged Baltimore Ravens Win, with the mark tied to the football value that actually followed from the deal.

Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Atlanta Falcons received Eric Zeier. Eric Zeier did not create meaningful regular-season value for Atlanta after the deal, leaving the Falcons with little on-field return from the veteran quarterback acquisition. Compared with Tampa Bay Buccaneers' return, the result supports a C- grade and fits the Even Trade verdict.
