Trade 1 of 3

Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns

Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Atlanta paid Cleveland five draft choices to move from No. 27 to No. 6 in 2011 and select Julio Jones. The price was enormous, but Jones became a franchise icon, seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro who helped Atlanta reach Super Bowl LI. Cleveland turned the package into several players and additional moves, but none approached Jones's impact. The Falcons' aggressive bet delivered a true superstar and ultimately wins the trade.

Assets Received

Atlanta Falcons
  • Pick 2011 1st round pick (6th overall, Julio Jones)
Cleveland Browns
  • Pick 2011 1st round pick (26th overall subsequently traded, Jonathan Baldwin)
  • Pick 2011 2nd round pick (59th overall, Greg Little)
  • Pick 2011 4th round pick (124th overall, Owen Marecic)
  • Pick 2012 1st round pick (22nd overall, Brandon Weeden)
  • Pick 2012 4th round pick (118th overall subsequently traded, Jarius Wright)

Trade 2 of 3

Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Kansas City moved down from No. 21 to No. 26 in the 2011 draft and added the 70th pick, sending Cleveland the selection used on Phil Taylor. The Chiefs took Jonathan Baldwin at 26 and Justin Houston at 70. Baldwin was a major miss, but Houston became a four-time Pro Bowler and one of the league's premier pass rushers. Taylor gave Cleveland useful early seasons, yet Houston's career makes Kansas City the clear winner.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Pick 2011 1st round pick (26th overall, Jonathan Baldwin)
  • Pick 2011 3rd round pick (70th overall, Justin Houston)
Cleveland Browns
  • Pick 2011 1st round pick (21st overall, Phil Taylor)
