Chronological Timeline
3 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 3
Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders
Oakland acquired cornerback DeAngelo Hall from Atlanta for a 2008 second-round pick and a 2009 fifth-rounder, then signed him to a massive long-term contract. The experiment lasted only eight games before the Raiders released him. Atlanta converted the draft capital into pieces of later deals that produced Sam Baker, Harry Douglas, Kroy Biermann, Garrett Reynolds and Vance Walker, creating an enormous value gap.
Assets Received
Las Vegas Raiders
- Player DeAngelo Hall
Atlanta Falcons
- Pick 2008 2nd round pick (34th overall; packaged with picks 48 and 103 to Washington for picks 21, 84 and 154, used on Sam Baker, Harry Douglas and Kroy Biermann; Washington later selected Devin Thomas at 34)
- Pick 2009 5th round pick (143rd overall; traded to Dallas for picks 156 and 210, used on Garrett Reynolds and Vance Walker; Dallas later selected DeAngelo Smith at 143)
Team Grades
Trade 2 of 3
Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions
Dallas acquired Roy Williams and a seventh-round pick for first-, third-, and sixth-round selections. Williams never became the No. 1 receiver the Cowboys expected, while Detroit used the first-round pick on long-term starting tight end Brandon Pettigrew and gained two more draft opportunities. The Lions sold at peak value and won clearly.
Assets Received
Dallas Cowboys
- Player Roy Williams
- Pick 2009 7th round pick (210th overall subsequently traded, Vance Walker)
Detroit Lions
- Pick 2009 1st round pick (20th overall, Brandon Pettigrew)
- Pick 2009 3rd round pick (82nd overall, Derrick Williams)
- Pick 2009 6th round pick (192nd overall, Aaron Brown)
Team Grades
Trade 3 of 3
Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys
Atlanta received No. 156, used on Garrett Reynolds, and No. 210, used on Vance Walker. Both players went on to meaningful NFL careers, giving the Falcons two legitimate outcomes from a move down in the draft and creating substantial value from modest selections. That result supports a B+ grade within the Atlanta Falcons Win verdict.
Assets Received
Atlanta Falcons
- Pick 2009 5th round pick (156th overall, Garrett Reynolds)
- Pick 2009 7th round pick (210th overall, Vance Walker)
Dallas Cowboys
