Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Arizona traded Aeneas Williams to the Rams on April 21, 2001 for the 54th and 123rd picks. The Cardinals used those selections on Michael Stone and Marcus Bell. Williams, already a decorated veteran, became an immediate centerpiece for St. Louis, helping the Rams reach Super Bowl XXXVI and later earning Hall of Fame induction. The draft return did not approach his post-trade impact, giving the Rams a clear win.
Los Angeles Rams Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
The Raiders acquired tight end Roland Williams from the Rams for the 123rd pick in the 2001 draft. St. Louis immediately packaged No. 123 with No. 54 to acquire future Hall of Fame defensive back Aeneas Williams from Arizona. Roland Williams was a useful veteran, but the Rams turned their acquired pick into part of a deal for an eight-time Pro Bowler who became a major piece of their 2001 NFC championship defense.
