Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
New England acquired Bill Belichick's coaching rights from the Jets in January 2000. The Patriots gave New York the 16th pick in 2000 plus fourth- and seventh-round choices in 2001, while receiving a 2001 fifth-rounder and 2002 seventh-rounder with Belichick. He then coached New England for 24 seasons and won six Super Bowls. No draft compensation could match that organizational impact, making this an overwhelming Patriots win.
Trade 2 of 3
San Francisco sent the No. 3 pick in the 2000 draft to Washington on February 26 for first-round selections Nos. 12 and 24 plus fourth- and fifth-round choices that ultimately slotted at Nos. 119 and 154. Washington used No. 3 on Chris Samuels, while San Francisco spread its return across several draft assets. The long-term value supports an even result.
Trade 3 of 3
The Jets moved from No. 16 to No. 12 and drafted defensive end Shaun Ellis, a two-time Pro Bowler who played 184 career games and recorded 73.5 sacks. San Francisco moved back four spots, selected five-time Pro Bowler Julian Peterson, and added second-round cornerback Jason Webster. Ellis was an excellent return, but Peterson plus the extra starter gives the 49ers a narrow edge.
