Trent Brown NFL Trade History

Dallas Cowboys received Caesar Rayford in the exchange with Indianapolis Colts. Caesar Rayford appeared in seven Cowboys games without a start, so Dallas received only a small amount of on-field value. Against Indianapolis Colts' return of 2015 7th round pick (244th overall subsequently traded, Trent Brown), that outcome supports a D+ grade. The transaction is judged as Indianapolis Colts Win, with the mark based on the football value that actually followed from the deal.

San Francisco moved down in the fifth round on May 2, 2015, sending pick No. 151 to Indianapolis for picks No. 165 and No. 244. The Colts used No. 151 on defensive tackle David Parry, who started all 32 games for Indianapolis across his first two seasons. The 49ers turned the return into punter Bradley Pinion and tackle Trent Brown, getting four seasons from Pinion plus 31 games and 28 starts from Brown before his later departure.

San Francisco sent tackle Trent Brown and 2018 fifth-round No. 143 to New England for 2018 third-round No. 95. The 49ers used No. 95 on Tarvarius Moore, while New England gained a starting left tackle for its Super Bowl LIII run and selected Ja'Whaun Bentley at No. 143. The Patriots received the stronger combined return.

Las Vegas Raiders received 2022 5th round pick (164th overall; subsequently traded by Las Vegas) in the 2021-03-17 exchange with New England Patriots. Las Vegas received a fifth-round asset but did not turn that return into value comparable to the starting tackle it sent away. The direct return and the football value it produced drive the hindsight judgment. Against the assets Las Vegas Raiders surrendered, the result supports New England Patriots Win and a C grade for Las Vegas Raiders.
