Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns
Atlanta sent the No. 10 pick in the 1995 draft to Cleveland for Eric Metcalf and pick No. 26. Metcalf brought established versatility, and Atlanta used No. 26 on Devin Bush, who developed into a multi-year starter. Cleveland converted the premium selection into additional draft opportunities, but its resulting player returns did not match the immediate and sustained value Atlanta received.

Atlanta Falcons
- Player Eric Metcalf
- Pick 1995 1st round pick (26th overall, Devin Bush)

Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco jumped from No. 30 to No. 10 for wide receiver J.J. Stokes, sending Cleveland its 1995 first-, third- and fourth-round picks plus a 1996 first-rounder. Stokes had a respectable 118-game career, but the future first became No. 26 in 1996 and was used by the relocated franchise on Ray Lewis. The extraordinary package makes Cleveland's side the decisive winner.
