New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles
New York traded picks No. 91 and No. 164 to Philadelphia on April 26, 2009 to move up six spots to No. 85, where the Giants selected Cal Poly wide receiver Ramses Barden. Barden spent four seasons with New York, appearing in 29 games with one start and catching 29 passes for 394 yards without a touchdown. The Giants got a usable depth receiver, but limited production for the two-pick price.

New York Giants
- Pick 2009 third round pick (#85-Ramses Barden)
Philadelphia Eagles

Trade 2 of 3
New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles
New Orleans traded a 2009 seventh-round pick and a 2010 fifth-rounder to Philadelphia for No. 164 and selected punter Thomas Morstead. Morstead spent 12 seasons with the Saints, earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors, and became a central special-teams figure on the Super Bowl XLIV champion. Philadelphia retained useful draft capital, but nothing from the return approached Morstead's longevity and franchise impact.
Assets Received
New Orleans Saints
- Pick 2009 5th round pick (164th overall, Thomas Morstead)
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 2009 7th round pick (222nd overall subsequently traded, Pat McAfee)
- Pick 2010 5th round pick (163rd overall subsequently traded, Reshad Jones)

Trade 3 of 3
New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles
The Giants climbed from No. 91 to No. 85 and used the pick on wide receiver Ramses Barden, sending Philadelphia No. 91 and No. 164. Barden stayed four seasons but produced only 29 receptions for 394 yards and no touchdowns in 29 games. New York obtained the player it wanted, yet the limited return makes the two-pick move-up difficult to defend in hindsight.
Assets Received
New York Giants
- Pick 2009 third-round pick (No. 85, Ramses Barden)
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 2009 third-round pick (No. 91; later traded to Seattle)
- Pick 2009 fifth-round pick (No. 164; later traded to New Orleans)
