New York moved Joe Dawkins and Dave Simonson to Houston in August 1976 for the 1977 seventh-round pick used on Al Dixon and another undisclosed selection, possibly the 1978 choice used on Rich Martini. Dawkins contributed only a limited final NFL season for Houston, while Dixon gave the Giants several seasons of service. New York receives a B- to Houston's C-.
New York traded running back Butch Woolfolk to Houston on March 21, 1985, for the third-round selection at No. 58 that became Tyrone Davis. Davis appeared in only seven NFL games, while Woolfolk immediately produced a major 1985 season for the Oilers. The draft return was legitimate, but the realized value strongly favored Houston.
2002 1st round pick (14th overall, Jeremy Shockey)
Tennessee Titans received
2002 1st round pick (15th overall, Albert Haynesworth)
2002 4th round pick (110th overall, Mike Echols)
New York moved from No. 15 to No. 14 in the 2002 draft by sending Tennessee the 15th selection and No. 110, then used the higher pick on Jeremy Shockey. Shockey became a four-time Pro Bowler for the Giants and produced 371 receptions, 4,228 yards and 27 touchdowns. Tennessee stayed one spot lower and landed Albert Haynesworth plus Mike Echols.
2002 first-round pick, No. 14 overall, used on Jeremy Shockey
Tennessee Titans received
2002 first-round pick, No. 15 overall, used on Albert Haynesworth
2002 fourth-round pick, No. 110 overall, used on Mike Echols
New York moved up one spot in the 2002 draft for Jeremy Shockey, sending Tennessee the No. 15 choice and a fourth-rounder. The Titans used No. 15 on Albert Haynesworth and No. 110 on Mike Echols. Shockey became an immediate Pro Bowl tight end, but Haynesworth's dominant peak and the extra selection give Tennessee a slight edge in a trade that worked for both clubs.
The Giants sent picks No. 40, No. 108 and No. 245 to Tennessee to move up seven spots for safety Landon Collins. Collins became a three-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro during four seasons in New York. Tennessee used the return on Dorial Green-Beckham, Jalston Fowler and Tre McBride; all contributed to varying degrees, but none approached Collins' peak or importance. New York won the aggressive move.
2017 sixth round pick (#207, later traded to Cincinnati for #217 Corey Levin and #227 Josh Carraway)
2017 seventh round pick (#241-Khalfani Muhammad)
New York moved up seven spots in the sixth round on April 29, 2017, sending picks No. 207 and No. 241 to Tennessee for No. 200. The Giants selected Pittsburgh tackle Adam Bisnowaty, who spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad and made one NFL regular-season appearance and start for New York. The trade-up therefore produced only a one-game on-field return before Bisnowaty left the organization in 2018.
Tennessee moved down from No. 200 to Nos. 207 and 241, then immediately flipped No. 207 to Cincinnati for Nos. 217 and 227. The downstream package produced Corey Levin, Josh Carraway and Khalfani Muhammad, with Levin becoming the durable return.
