New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers
New York acquired Ross Cockrell for a 2018 seventh-round pick and immediately received starting-caliber cornerback play. Cockrell appeared in all 16 games, started nine, intercepted three passes, and broke up 11 in 2017. Pittsburgh later packaged the No. 220 pick with No. 79 to move up to No. 76, where it drafted Mason Rudolph. The pick had real trade-up utility, but Rudolph's entire career cannot be credited solely to that seventh-rounder, leaving the Giants with the clearer direct return.
