Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Las Vegas Raiders Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Tampa Bay moved from No. 42 to No. 39 in 2010 for receiver Arrelious Benn, sending Oakland an additional fifth-round pick. Benn's career was derailed by injuries. Oakland turned No. 42 into picks 44 and 190, selecting Lamarr Houston and Travis Goethel, and used the fifth-round asset in the Kirk Morrison deal that helped produce Jacoby Ford. The Raiders converted the trade-down into substantially more value.
Pick 2010 2nd round pick (42nd overall; traded to New England for 2010 picks 44 and 190, used on Lamarr Houston and Travis Goethel; New England later selected Rob Gronkowski at 42)
Pick 2010 5th round pick (153rd overall; packaged with Kirk Morrison to Jacksonville for 2010 pick 108, used on Jacoby Ford; Jacksonville later selected Austen Lane at 153)
New England Patriots Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
New England moved up only two spots, surrendering No. 44 and a sixth-rounder to Oakland for No. 42, then selected Rob Gronkowski. Oakland landed defensive lineman Lamarr Houston, a four-year starter who produced 16.5 sacks for the Raiders, plus linebacker Travis Goethel. That is respectable value, but Gronkowski became one of the defining tight ends in NFL history and a cornerstone of three Patriots championship teams, making New England the overwhelming winner.
