Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
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.
Trade 2 of 3
Carolina moved from No. 31 to No. 28 in the 2004 draft, sending San Francisco the 31st pick and a fourth-rounder to select cornerback Chris Gamble. San Francisco used the return on receiver Rashaun Woods and linebacker Richard Seigler. Gamble became a nine-year Panthers starter with 27 interceptions, while neither 49ers selection developed into comparable value, making Carolina the clear winner.
Trade 3 of 3
The Rams moved from No. 26 to No. 24 in the 2004 draft and selected Steven Jackson, sending Cincinnati the 26th pick and No. 123. Jackson became the Rams' franchise rushing leader with 10,138 yards during his nine seasons with the club. Cincinnati selected Chris Perry and Stacy Andrews, who provided some value but never approached Jackson's impact. A small move up produced a franchise cornerstone for St. Louis.
