TRADING TEAMS |
WHAT THEY GOT |
USED IT ON |
ANALYSIS |
|
2011
|
FALCONS |
6 |
WR Julio Jones |
ATLANTA Jones missed three games to injury in a promising (54 rec., 959 yds, 8 TDs) rookie campaign. |
|
BROWNS |
27, 59, 124 in '11; first- and fourth-rounders in '12 |
Traded from 27 to 21 for DT Phil Taylor; WR Greg Little (59); RB Owen Marecic (124); QB Brandon Weeden (22 in '12). Fourth-rounder packaged to move up to 3 and take RB Trent Richardson. |
CLEVELAND Taylor (four sacks) bolstered the Browns' D-line, and Little (61 rec., 709 yds, 2 TDs) was the lone highlight of Cleveland's offense. Weeden will challenge for the QB job. |
|
JAGUARS |
10 |
QB Blaine Gabbert |
JACKSONVILLE Gabbert looked raw and unready, with 11 interceptions and 14 fumbles in 14 starts. |
|
REDSKINS |
16, 49 |
DE Ryan Kerrigan (16); used 49 in trades to net RB Roy Helu, WR Leonard Hankerson, DB DeJon Gomes, WR Aldrick Robinson, OG Maurice Hurt |
WASHINGTON Kerrigan had 7½ sacks as a rookie, Helu led the Skins in rushing, and Hurt started eight games at guard. |
|
2009
|
JETS |
5 |
QB Mark Sanchez |
NEW YORK Sanchez led the Jets to two straight AFC title games, and his stats have improved each year, but locker room strife and Tim Tebow's arrival cloud his status. |
|
BROWNS |
17, 52; DE Kenyon Coleman, QB Brett Ratliff, DB Abram Elam |
Packaged 17 in a series of trades eventually netting C Alex Mack, plus late-rounders. Drafted DE David Veikune at No. 52 |
CLEVELAND Mack is a solid starter; Veikune, Coleman, Ratliff and Elam are no longer with the Browns. |
|
2008
|
SAINTS |
7, 164 |
DT Sedrick Ellis (7), DT Carl Nicks (164) |
NEW ORLEANS Ellis has started from the get-go, but the bigger prize was Nicks, a first team All-Pro in '11. He signed a $47 million free-agent deal with the Bucs in March. |
|
PATRIOTS |
10, 78 |
LB Jerod Mayo (10) LB Shawn Crable (78) |
NEW ENGLAND Mayo has been a staple of the defense; Crable's Pats' career stretched all of six games. |
|
JAGUARS |
8 |
DE Derrick Harvey |
JACKSONVILLE Harvey had eight sacks in three seasons with the Jags—four picks for that? |
|
RAVENS |
26, 71, 89, 125 |
Packaged 26, 89 and their 173 to Houston for No. 18 and took QB Joe Flacco. LB Tavares Gooden (71). Traded 125 to Raiders for CB Fabian Washington. |
BALTIMORE Here's how you package picks to tab a franchise player. And in Round 2 the Ravens again showed their savvy, trading down and still getting running back Ray Rice. |
Thanks to the new rookie wage scale, the 2012 draft saw unprecedented movement: 102 of the 221 noncompensatory picks were involved in trades, including six of the top 10. But who gets the best of the high-end deals? Here's how the last five trades involving top 10 picks panned out.
