Green Bay Packers and New York Jets
New York Jets Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
The Jets moved up four spots in the third round of the 1991 draft, sending Green Bay Nos. 67 and 121 for No. 63. New York used the pick on linebacker Mo Lewis, who spent 13 seasons with the Jets, played 200 games, reached three Pro Bowls and earned first-team All-Pro recognition. That star-level longevity overwhelms Green Bay's return.
Miami Dolphins Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Miami moved up from No. 135 to No. 121 in the 1991 draft, sending Green Bay No. 135 plus No. 164. The Dolphins selected Gene Williams, who at least reached the field for Miami. Green Bay chose Jeff Fite and Joe Garten, but neither produced meaningful Packers regular-season value. Williams' later career elsewhere is excluded, yet his limited Miami contribution still exceeds Green Bay's return.
Cleveland Browns Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Miami traded Gene Williams to Cleveland for the 1994 fourth-round pick used on Ronnie Woolfork. Williams immediately became a starting offensive lineman for the Browns, making 23 starts across his two Cleveland seasons. Woolfork, selected 112th overall, never appeared in an NFL regular-season game. Cleveland clearly converted a modest draft cost into substantially more realized football value.
