Jacksonville traded picks No. 194, No. 198 and No. 203 to Atlanta for No. 149 and selected guard Uche Nwaneri. The older record incorrectly listed No. 195 and duplicated the Falcons' return. Atlanta's actual picks became David Irons, Doug Datish and Daren Stone. Nwaneri developed into a durable, multi-year Jaguars starting guard, while none of Atlanta's three late selections produced comparable Falcons value. Jacksonville won decisively.

- pick 2007 6th round pick (194th overall, David Irons)
- pick 2007 6th round pick (198th overall, Doug Datish )
- pick 2007 6th round pick (203rd overall, Daren Stone )
Jacksonville Jaguars Received
- pick 2007 5th round pick (149th overall, Uche Nwaneri)
Trade Analysis
What the Correct Package Was
Jacksonville moved up to pick No. 149 in the 2007 draft by sending Atlanta three sixth-round selections: No. 194, No. 198 and No. 203. Atlanta used those choices on cornerback David Irons, center Doug Datish and safety Daren Stone. The older record incorrectly identified the first selection as No. 195 and also duplicated the Falcons' return by listing a combined bundle alongside the individual picks.
What Jacksonville Received
The Jaguars selected guard Uche Nwaneri at No. 149. He developed into one of the better value picks of that Jacksonville draft, eventually becoming a regular starter on the offensive line and remaining with the franchise for seven seasons. For a fifth-round selection acquired with three late picks, that kind of sustained starting value is an excellent outcome.
What Atlanta Received
Irons, Datish and Stone each represented a legitimate late-round opportunity, but the trio did not produce a comparable long-term Falcons contributor. Stone saw some regular-season action, while the other selections failed to establish a lasting role in Atlanta. Quantity gave the Falcons multiple chances, yet none became the type of durable starter Jacksonville found.
Why This Trade Still Matters
This deal shows that three late selections are not automatically worth more than one earlier pick. Jacksonville concentrated the capital into a player it valued and hit. Atlanta spread the risk across three choices and did not find equivalent production.
Final Verdict
Jacksonville Jaguars Win. Jacksonville earns an A- for landing a long-term starting guard in Nwaneri. Atlanta receives a D because three incoming picks produced little sustained Falcons value. The corrected asset list reinforces a clear Jaguars victory.
