T.J. Duckett NFL Trade History

Washington moved down from No. 18 to No. 21 in the 2002 first round and received Oakland's third-round pick at No. 89. Oakland immediately used No. 18 as part of another move to No. 17 for Phillip Buchanon. Washington later moved both acquired choices again while reshaping its draft board. Because neither club directly turned this exchange into a lasting cornerstone, the trade grades remain close.

Oakland moved from No. 18 to No. 17 in the 2002 draft, sending Atlanta the 18th pick and a fifth-rounder to select cornerback Phillip Buchanon. Atlanta used the acquired first-rounder on running back T.J. Duckett and the fifth-round pick on quarterback Kurt Kittner. Buchanon had the longest and most productive career, while Duckett became a useful rotational power back, leaving Oakland with a modest edge.

Atlanta turned surplus running back T.J. Duckett into wide receiver Ashley Lelie in a three-team deal with Washington and Denver. Lelie gave the Falcons a full season of receiver depth, while Duckett was used sparingly in Washington and left after one year. Because Washington also sent Denver meaningful draft capital to complete the transaction, Atlanta extracted the stronger value from its outgoing asset.

In a three-team deal, Washington received running back T.J. Duckett from Atlanta, Denver received Washington's 2007 third-round and 2008 fourth-round choices, and Atlanta received wide receiver Ashley Lelie from Denver. Although Atlanta completed the player bridge, the Washington-Denver value exchange is stark: two useful draft assets went to Denver while Washington received only a small amount of one-season production.
