Trade 1 of 3
Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers
Cleveland moved up for David Njoku and landed the best player in the transaction. Njoku developed into a long-term Browns starter, a Pro Bowl tight end, and one of the club's most dependable offensive pieces. His sustained receiving production, red-zone value, and years of starting service gave Cleveland exactly the kind of payoff teams seek when sacrificing multiple selections to climb into the first round.
Assets Received
Cleveland Browns
- Pick 2017 1st round pick (29th overall, David Njoku)
Green Bay Packers
- Pick 2017 2nd round pick (33rd overall, Kevin King)
- Pick 2017 4th round pick (108th overall, Vince Biegel)

Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks
Seattle moved out of pick No. 26 and received Nos. 31, 95 and 249 from Atlanta. The Seahawks kept moving No. 31, eventually building a branch that included Malik McDowell, while No. 95 became Delano Hill and No. 249 became Chris Carson. Carson delivered two 1,100-yard rushing seasons and 3,502 career rushing yards. Atlanta got Takk McKinley, a productive but short-lived pass rusher before waiving him in 2020.
Assets Received
Seattle Seahawks
- Pick 2017 1st round pick (31st overall subsequently traded, Reuben Foster)
- Pick 2017 3rd round pick (95th overall, Lano Hill)
- Pick 2017 7th round pick (249th overall, Chris Carson)
Atlanta Falcons
- Pick 2017 1st round pick (26th overall, Takkarist McKinley)

San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks
San Francisco moved from No. 34 to No. 31 and selected Reuben Foster. Foster flashed starter-level talent but his 49ers tenure ended after two seasons and did not become the durable linebacker cornerstone the move-up was designed to secure. The 49ers therefore received real short-term ability without enough longevity to justify the concentrated draft investment.
Assets Received
San Francisco 49ers
- Pick 2017 first round pick (#31-Reuben Foster)
Seattle Seahawks
- Pick 2017 second round pick (#34, subsequently traded to Jacksonville)
- Pick 2017 fourth round pick (#111-Tedric Thompson)
