Trade 5 of 6

Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders

Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Oakland acquired cornerback DeAngelo Hall from Atlanta for a 2008 second-round pick and a 2009 fifth-rounder, then signed him to a massive long-term contract. The experiment lasted only eight games before the Raiders released him. Atlanta converted the draft capital into pieces of later deals that produced Sam Baker, Harry Douglas, Kroy Biermann, Garrett Reynolds and Vance Walker, creating an enormous value gap.

Assets Received

Las Vegas Raiders
  • Player DeAngelo Hall
Atlanta Falcons
  • Pick 2008 2nd round pick (34th overall; packaged with picks 48 and 103 to Washington for picks 21, 84 and 154, used on Sam Baker, Harry Douglas and Kroy Biermann; Washington later selected Devin Thomas at 34)
  • Pick 2009 5th round pick (143rd overall; traded to Dallas for picks 156 and 210, used on Garrett Reynolds and Vance Walker; Dallas later selected DeAngelo Smith at 143)

Atlanta Falcons and Washington Commanders

Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Atlanta moved from No. 34 to No. 21 in the 2008 draft and received picks 84 and 154, turning the package into Sam Baker, Harry Douglas and Kroy Biermann.

Atlanta landed three meaningful contributors and clearly extracted more long-term value.

Assets Received

Washington Commanders
  • Pick 2008 2nd round pick (34th overall, Devin Thomas)
  • Pick 2008 2nd round pick (48th overall, Fred Davis)
  • Pick 2008 4th round pick (103rd overall; traded to Tennessee for picks 124 and 157; pick 124 became Justin Tryon, and pick 157 was packaged with pick 228 to St. Louis for picks 168 and 180, used on Durant Brooks and Kareem Moore; Tennessee later selected William Hayes at 103)
Atlanta Falcons
