Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns
Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns completed this exchange on 1995-03-25. Atlanta paid the 10th pick in the 1995 draft to acquire Eric Metcalf and Cleveland's 26th pick. Metcalf's established versatility and Bush's multi-year starting role gave Atlanta two useful assets from one premium pick. The stronger overall return belongs to Atlanta Falcons. The grades reflect direct team value plus clearly traceable use of any acquired pick that was later traded.
Cleveland Browns Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
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.
