Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
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.
Trade 2 of 3
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.
Trade 3 of 3
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.
