New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New England Patriots Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
New England traded picks No. 160 and No. 238 to Tampa Bay for No. 153 and selected Matthew Slater. Slater became one of the greatest special-teams players of his era, spending 16 seasons with the Patriots, winning three Super Bowls and earning 10 Pro Bowl selections. Tampa Bay drafted Josh Johnson and Cory Boyd; Johnson became a long-lived NFL backup, but his Buccaneers impact was modest and Boyd never played for Tampa Bay.
Philadelphia Eagles Win Tier: standard
Confidence: medium
Indianapolis Colts acquired Conditional 2009 draft pick (did not convey) from Philadelphia Eagles for Luke Lawton. The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Indianapolis Colts.
Denver Broncos received Le Kevin Smith and 2010 7th round pick (231st overall subsequently traded, Selvish Capers). New England Patriots received 2010 5th round pick (158th overall subsequently traded, Matt Tennant). The final review keeps this as an even trade because the available record does not create a reliable separation.
Washington moved from pick No. 208 to Nos. 229 and 231, selecting Erik Cook and Selvish Capers. New England used No. 208 on Thomas Welch. None of the three linemen became a meaningful long-term contributor for the team that drafted him. The Patriots received one slightly earlier shot while Washington received two later shots, but the resulting NFL value was too small to separate the sides.
