Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints
Arizona Cardinals / St. Louis Cardinals Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
New Orleans paid an enormous package to move from picks 17 and 18 to No. 6 in 2003, also exchanging second- and fourth-round value with Arizona. The Saints selected defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan, while Arizona's return produced Bryant Johnson, Calvin Pace and Anquan Boldin. Sullivan became a major first-round disappointment and Boldin became a franchise star, creating one of the widest draft-trade gaps of the era.
New Orleans and New England swapped two former high draft picks who had fallen out of favor, with wide receiver Bethel Johnson going to the Saints and defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan going to the Patriots. Because neither acquired player produced regular-season value for his new club, the fairest judgment is an even trade with poor grades on both sides.
