Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders
Buffalo moved down five spots in the 1981 first round, sending No. 23 to the Raiders for No. 28 and a third-round selection. The Bills used those choices on Booker Moore and Robert Geathers, while the Raiders selected Curt Marsh at No. 23. None became a transformational NFL player, leaving the exchange without enough separation for a clear winner.

Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos
Cincinnati moved down from No. 17 to No. 24 in the 2004 draft and added cornerback Deltha O'Neal plus the 117th pick, while Denver moved up for linebacker D.J. Williams. Williams became a long-term Broncos starter, but Cincinnati received a Pro Bowl season from O'Neal, 11 years from Robert Geathers, and additional value by later moving pick No. 24. The Bengals' broader package wins a strong trade for both sides.
