Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets

Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major Confidence: high

St. Louis acquired the No. 1 pick from the Jets in April 1997 for selections 6, 67, 102 and 207, then drafted Orlando Pace. Pace became a Hall of Fame left tackle, seven-time Pro Bowler and cornerstone of the Rams' Super Bowl teams. New York successfully redistributed much of the return into several contributors, but none matched Pace's elite value, giving St. Louis the win.
