Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Atlanta Falcons Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Atlanta moved down eight spots in the second round of the 1998 draft, sending No. 45 to Tampa Bay for Nos. 53 and 114. Tampa Bay selected cornerback Brian Kelly, who played 141 career games, intercepted 22 passes and won a Super Bowl. Atlanta landed guard Bob Hallen and returner-receiver Tim Dwight, two long-term NFL contributors, with Dwight also becoming part of the later trade package for Michael Vick.
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Atlanta moved from No. 5 to No. 1 for Michael Vick, sending San Diego Tim Dwight, the fifth pick, a third-rounder and a 2002 second-rounder. Vick became a transformative Falcons star and led Atlanta to the 2004 NFC Championship Game. The Chargers used No. 5 on Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson and also gained useful supporting assets, giving San Diego the greater total return.
