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)

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)

Trade 3 of 3

Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Kansas City acquired wide receiver A.J. Jenkins from San Francisco on August 19, 2013 in a straight swap for Jonathan Baldwin. Jenkins appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2013 and caught eight passes for 130 yards, then added nine catches in 2014. His Kansas City production remained modest, but he gave the Chiefs considerably more game-day value than Baldwin produced for the 49ers.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Player A.J. Jenkins
San Francisco 49ers
  • Player Jonathan Baldwin
