NFL Trade Verdict
New England Patriots Win
New England converted the No. 110 asset into Randy Moss and later moved the 2008 first-round asset for the selections used on Jerod Mayo and Shawn Crable. John Bowie and Sedrick Ellis were selected by later holders and are provenance only. The Patriots produced the stronger total return.
New England Patriots Received
- pick 2007 4th round pick (110th overall subsequently traded, John Bowie )
- pick 2008 1st round pick (7th overall subsequently traded, Sedrick Ellis )
San Francisco 49ers Received
- pick 2007 1st round pick (28th overall, Joe Staley )
Trade Analysis
Both teams realized major value. San Francisco received Joe Staley, while New England's actual onward compensation produced Randy Moss, Jerod Mayo, and Shawn Crable. That combined return supports the New England Patriots Win verdict.
