Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots
Jacksonville paid pick No. 232 and a 2010 second-rounder to move up for cornerback Derek Cox at No. 73. Cox became a four-year starter and intercepted 12 passes for the Jaguars, so Jacksonville received solid value. New England selected Julian Edelman at No. 232 and later used the future second-rounder in the move that produced Rob Gronkowski, giving the Patriots a historically superior return.
Assets Received
Jacksonville Jaguars
- Pick 2009 3rd round pick (73rd overall, Derek Cox)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2009 7th round pick (232nd overall, Julian Edelman)
- Pick 2010 2nd round pick (44th overall subsequently traded, Lamarr Houston)

Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay moved from No. 42 to No. 39 in 2010 for receiver Arrelious Benn, sending Oakland an additional fifth-round pick. Benn's career was derailed by injuries. Oakland turned No. 42 into picks 44 and 190, selecting Lamarr Houston and Travis Goethel, and used the fifth-round asset in the Kirk Morrison deal that helped produce Jacoby Ford. The Raiders converted the trade-down into substantially more value.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Pick 2010 2nd round pick (42nd overall; traded to New England for 2010 picks 44 and 190, used on Lamarr Houston and Travis Goethel; New England later selected Rob Gronkowski at 42)
- Pick 2010 5th round pick (153rd overall; packaged with Kirk Morrison to Jacksonville for 2010 pick 108, used on Jacoby Ford; Jacksonville later selected Austen Lane at 153)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Pick 2010 2nd round pick (39th overall, Arrelious Benn)

Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots
New England moved up only two spots, surrendering No. 44 and a sixth-rounder to Oakland for No. 42, then selected Rob Gronkowski. Oakland landed defensive lineman Lamarr Houston, a four-year starter who produced 16.5 sacks for the Raiders, plus linebacker Travis Goethel. That is respectable value, but Gronkowski became one of the defining tight ends in NFL history and a cornerstone of three Patriots championship teams, making New England the overwhelming winner.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Pick 2010 2nd round pick (44th overall, Lamarr Houston)
- Pick 2010 6th round pick (190th overall, Travis Goethel)
New England Patriots
