New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
San Francisco moved from No. 28 to No. 16 in the 1985 draft by sending New England its first-, second- and third-round selections, while also receiving a Patriots third-rounder. The 49ers used No. 16 on Jerry Rice, who became the most productive receiver in NFL history and a franchise cornerstone. No plausible value from New England's return approaches that outcome.
Seattle Seahawks Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Seattle acquired Jerry Rice from Oakland in October 2004 for a conditional 2005 seventh-round pick. Seahawks records state that the trade condition was not met, so the pick was never conveyed. Rice’s Seattle stay was brief, but he still gave the Seahawks veteran receiving help at no eventual draft cost. Oakland accommodated the legendary receiver’s desire for a larger role but received no lasting compensation, giving Seattle the edge.
