Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 4
Cleveland did not use the acquired No. 173 pick on Vinston Painter; it packaged that choice with Colt McCoy for Nos. 164 and 227, so the pick receives only proportional credit for the later Browns return. Philadelphia got 15 games and one start from David Sims, while seventh-rounder Joe Kruger never played a regular-season game. The balanced, modest outcomes support C/C and an even verdict.
Trade 2 of 4
San Francisco acquired Colt McCoy and the 173rd selection in 2013 for picks 164 and 227. McCoy supplied quarterback depth, while the sixth-rounder helped the 49ers move up for Vance McDonald in a separate exchange. That contribution matters, but it does not make McDonald's entire career the product of the McCoy deal.
Trade 3 of 4
San Francisco acquired the 55th pick in the 2013 draft from Green Bay for picks 61 and 173. The 49ers selected tight end Vance McDonald, while the Packers selected running back Eddie Lacy at 61 and later moved the 173rd pick. McDonald built a useful career, but Lacy's immediate impact, including a 1,000-yard rookie season and major offensive role, gives Green Bay the stronger return.
Trade 4 of 4
Denver traded the 125th pick in the 2013 draft to Green Bay and received Nos. 146 and 173. The Broncos used those selections on Quanterus Smith and Vinston Painter, while the Packers used No. 125 on Johnathan Franklin. Denver turned one fourth-round slot into two later opportunities, and the added volume gives the Broncos the stronger overall value profile.
