Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Oakland acquired tackle Lincoln Kennedy from Atlanta in May 1996 for a 1997 fifth-round pick. Kennedy became a cornerstone of the Raiders’ offensive line, starting 119 games for the franchise, earning three Pro Bowl selections and first-team All-Pro honors in 2002, and helping Oakland reach Super Bowl XXXVII. Atlanta received only a late-round asset that never approached that value. Getting an elite long-term starter for a fifth-round pick makes this an overwhelming Raiders win.
