Philadelphia received Nos. 164 and 214. The Eagles later moved No. 164 again, so Isaac Asiata belongs to the subsequent transaction chain rather than this return, while Elijah Qualls appeared in only six games for Philadelphia. The package retained draft flexibility, but the direct realized football value was limited and did not approach the sustained defensive production Tennessee obtained.
Philadelphia Eagles Received
- pick 2017 5th round pick (164th overall subsequently traded, Isaac Asiata )
- pick 2017 6th round pick (214th overall, Elijah Qualls )
Tennessee Titans Received
- pick 2017 5th round pick (155th overall, Jayon Brown )
Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 2017-04-29, Philadelphia Eagles received 2017 5th round pick (164th overall subsequently traded, Isaac Asiata); 2017 6th round pick (214th overall, Elijah Qualls), while Tennessee Titans received 2017 5th round pick (155th overall, Jayon Brown). The grade centers on the football value produced by the consideration each club controlled. Later movement of an acquired pick is treated as provenance, not extra value from the original deal.
Philadelphia Eagles Return
Philadelphia received Nos. 164 and 214. The Eagles later moved No. 164 again, so Isaac Asiata belongs to the subsequent transaction chain rather than this return, while Elijah Qualls appeared in only six games for Philadelphia. The package retained draft flexibility, but the direct realized football value was limited and did not approach the sustained defensive production Tennessee obtained.
Tennessee Titans Return
Tennessee moved up to No. 155 and selected Jayon Brown. Brown became a multi-year Titans starter, appearing in 66 games with 39 starts from 2017 through 2021 while producing 9.5 sacks and four interceptions. That long run of meaningful defensive snaps and starting responsibility easily outweighs Philadelphia's limited direct return and gives Tennessee decisive separation.
Value in Hindsight
Tennessee moved up from Nos.164 and 214 to No.155 and selected Jayon Brown. Brown became a multi-year Titans starter, appearing in 66 Tennessee games with 39 starts from 2017-21 while producing 9.5 career sacks and four interceptions. Philadelphia later moved No.164 again, and No.214 Elijah Qualls provided only six Eagles games. Brown's sustained defensive role creates decisive separation for Tennessee. Those outcomes support Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans Win. The grade spread remains proportional to the size of the deal and the strength of the realized value.
Final Verdict
Philadelphia Eagles receives a D+ and Tennessee Titans receives a B+. The verdict is Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans Win. The conclusion weighs usable contribution, duration, and significance while keeping later separate transactions outside the original bargain.
