Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Washington Commanders acquired Martin Chase from New Orleans Saints for 2004 7th round pick (206th overall subsequently traded, Mark Jones). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Trade 2 of 3
New Orleans moved up for fullback Mike Karney at pick 156 in 2004, sending Dallas picks 182 and 206. Karney became a five-year Saint and an important lead-blocking fullback, so New Orleans received solid value. Dallas then flipped both acquired picks in separate trades, eventually adding Nate Jones, Jacques Reeves, Darian Barnes and Patrick Crayton. Crayton became a productive long-term receiver, giving the Cowboys a narrow overall edge.
Trade 3 of 3
Tampa Bay moved up 10 spots in the seventh round of the 2004 draft, sending fullback Darian Barnes and pick No. 216 to Dallas for No. 206. The Buccaneers selected Mark Jones, who did not make their initial roster and later returned as a return specialist. Dallas selected Patrick Crayton, who became a productive six-year Cowboys receiver, making the Cowboys the clear winner of a low-cost draft-day exchange.
