Reggie Brown

Kansas City acquired safety William White from Detroit in July 1994 for a conditional 1996 third-round pick that became No. 91. White started 14 games for the Chiefs in his first season and remained with the club for three years. Detroit later paired No. 91 with its first-round pick to move up for Reggie Brown. Both sides found value, but Kansas City's direct veteran production earns a slight edge.

The Raiders jumped from No. 17 to No. 9 in the 1996 draft and selected tight end Rickey Dudley, sending Houston the 17th, 48th and 109th picks. Dudley became a productive NFL starter, so Oakland did not come away empty. Houston, however, turned the package into multiple useful assets and used No. 17 moments later as the centerpiece of the move for Eddie George, giving the Oilers the far greater long-term return.

Houston moved from No. 17 to No. 14 in the 1996 draft by sending Seattle defensive lineman Glenn Montgomery along with the 17th pick. The Oilers selected Eddie George, who became the franchise’s all-time rushing leader and powered the team through its move to Tennessee. Seattle immediately flipped No. 17 to Detroit and came away with Pete Kendall and Reggie Brown, so the Seahawks created useful value. George’s decade-defining impact still makes Houston the clear winner.

Seattle moved from No. 17 to No. 21 in the 1996 draft and received pick No. 91 from Detroit. The Seahawks selected offensive lineman Pete Kendall and running back Reggie Brown, while the Lions used No. 17 on linebacker Reggie Brown. Detroit's Brown looked like a rising defensive star before a spinal-cord injury ended his career, while Kendall became a 13-year NFL starter, giving Seattle the better hindsight return.

Miami sent a 2005 second-round pick to Philadelphia for quarterback A.J. Feeley, betting that his promising relief work behind Donovan McNabb could translate into a starting role. Feeley started eight games for the 2004 Dolphins, threw more interceptions than touchdowns, and was traded away the next season. Philadelphia turned the pick into receiver Reggie Brown and clearly extracted more lasting value.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers acquired Reggie Brown from Philadelphia Eagles for 2011 6th round pick (184th overall; traded to Arizona for G Reggie Wells; Arizona later selected David Carter at 184). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
