New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
New Orleans acquired tight end David Thomas from New England for a conditional 2011 draft choice that ultimately became the 189th pick in the sixth round. Thomas played 48 games with 25 starts for the Saints and contributed as a versatile receiver and in-line tight end on the Super Bowl XLIV champion. New England later reused the pick, but Thomas' four useful Saints seasons create the stronger return.
New England Patriots Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Denver Broncos received Laurence Maroney and 2011 6th round pick (189th overall, Mike Mohamed). New England Patriots received 2011 4th round pick (99th overall subsequently traded, K.J. Wright). The final review favors New England Patriots because that return produced stronger practical football value.
