Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders
Oakland moved from No. 18 to No. 17 in the 2002 draft, sending Atlanta the 18th pick and a fifth-rounder to select cornerback Phillip Buchanon. Atlanta used the acquired first-rounder on running back T.J. Duckett and the fifth-round pick on quarterback Kurt Kittner. Buchanon had the longest and most productive career, while Duckett became a useful rotational power back, leaving Oakland with a modest edge.

Houston Texans and Las Vegas Raiders
Houston paid second- and third-round picks for Phillip Buchanon, betting that the 2002 first-rounder would become a long-term starting corner. Instead, Buchanon started six games in 2005, played four more for Houston in 2006 and was released. Oakland turned one of the incoming picks into five-year starting linebacker Kirk Morrison and used the other in another draft-day exchange, making this a clear Raiders victory.
