New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans

New England Patriots Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

New England moved from No. 52 to No. 46 in the 1999 draft for Kevin Faulk, sending Tennessee the 52nd and 117th picks. Faulk became a 161-game Patriot, gained more than 7,000 yards from scrimmage and won three Super Bowls. Tennessee used No. 52 on John Thornton, who played 143 games and had a strong career, making this a good trade for both sides but a Patriots win.
