Baltimore turned the move down into Chris Chester at No. 56 and David Pittman at No. 87. Chester became the centerpiece, beginning a 169-game NFL career with substantial Ravens service, while Pittman added seven Baltimore games, one start, and two interceptions. The two-pick package therefore produced both useful depth and a long-lived offensive lineman, giving Baltimore strong aggregate value.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 2006-04-29, Baltimore Ravens received 2006 2nd round pick (56th overall, Chris Chester); 2006 3rd round pick (87th overall, David Pittman), while New York Giants received 2006 2nd round pick (44th overall, Sinorice Moss).

Baltimore Ravens Return
Baltimore turned the move down into Chris Chester at No. 56 and David Pittman at No. 87. Chester became the centerpiece, beginning a 169-game NFL career with substantial Ravens service, while Pittman added seven Baltimore games, one start, and two interceptions. The two-pick package therefore produced both useful depth and a long-lived offensive lineman, giving Baltimore strong aggregate value.
New York Giants Return
New York moved up to No. 44 for Sinorice Moss. Moss played four seasons for the Giants but finished with only 39 receptions, 421 yards, and three touchdowns, never developing into the impact receiver the trade-up was intended to secure. The Giants did receive some regular-season production, but it was modest relative to Baltimore's combined return from Chris Chester and David Pittman.
Value in Hindsight
The draft-day package is exact: Baltimore received Nos. 56 and 87 for No. 44. Chris Chester became the major return, ultimately playing 169 NFL games and beginning his career with substantial Ravens service; David Pittman added seven games, one start and two interceptions. Sinorice Moss produced 39 catches for 421 yards and three touchdowns for the Giants. Baltimore clearly realized the stronger football value. The comparison is therefore based on direct club service, starting responsibility, production, and the practical value of any retained draft capital, without overstating downstream moves that required additional consideration.
Final Verdict
Baltimore Ravens receives a B+ and New York Giants receives a C. The verdict is Baltimore Ravens Win. The grade spread reflects the modest scale of the original transaction while still recognizing which side produced the stronger realized football return.
