Top 10 NFL Draft Trades of All Time | NFL Films 

Brian Harding I’m guessing 3 1 yard rushes with 2 rushes resulting in -4 yards

@@xtrnal_demon9226 it's like a die hard riddle. 🤣🤣 How do you have 3 TDS with 1 yard rushing

UNCOMMON SENCE I got the joke I just wanted the play by play for the end result

05-06 season against the Lions

you mean trent Richardson? :)

Phil Michaels 😭😭 coming from a San diegan

Phil Michaels I don’t pay attention to the chargers so I don’t get it

Hated in San Diego? Big deal! Philadelphia throws batteries at outfielders that are looking the other way. D’s.

c b - Threw things at Santa...........

He won two Super Bowl rings hope rivers gets at least another chance Dan fouts along with rivers one of the best never got the support needed Fred dean Louie kelcher went to sf and got Super Bowl rings Eli made the right decision I live in San Diego and have since 1962 so I have seen it all if you want a Super Bowl ring don’t sign with the chargers one more good example Drew Brees he has a ring also. Cheap billionaires who are not rich enough to support a Super Bowl winning team both Gene Kline and the Spanos’s wouldn’t and won’t spend the money to win the big game

The commissioner's face was hilarious.. The confusion 🤣🤣

It would have crashed and burned.

The only thing as wild as the trade is the contract he signed. It had a theoretical contract value of $68M but to get any sizeable chunk of that money he would’ve had to play better than anybody in history ever had for seven years. And even then it’s hard to figure out how it gets to $68M. But essentially you can figure out how to get it to $63M but that would’ve required that he hit 10 or 20 possible incentives all seven years, break the NFL rushing record each of the first four seasons and that absurd performance of those four seasons would have gotten him a huge escalator bonus for the final three seasons. And he didn’t get anywhere close to any of it. There was a study of a bunch of the best running backs in history by using their seven best year stretch of production in their entire careers and what they’d have earned under Ricky’s deal. Emmitt Smith would have earned the most using his stats from 1992-1998 and he would’ve earned roughly $35M of the potential $68M. What shows even more how horrible of a deal it was Ladanian Tomlinsons output for his first seven years, which we all remember how absurd he was, he would have only earned roughly $17M of the potential money. This is a back who had 1,200+ yards each of those years and 10+ touchdowns each of those years and despite being that elite he’d only have made 1/4 of the potential value of the deal. Everything about his career was wild. The trade made for him was absurd, the contract he signed was absurd, and the stop and starts in the league because of his love of the flower was wild.

@@Matt-cr4vv didn't he travel to another country just to smoke?

Cowboy Flame how? He’s widely regarded as one of the best Running backs of the 2000s

Q Jones “one of the best”

@@brenum9546 well you had Adrian Peterson at roughly the same time. Both were phenomenal. If your gonna make the case he was decidedly better than Peterson i think your gonna have a rough time of it.

Really? As a KC fan I’d say he was awesome

Erik Greer AP single handedly dragged his team to the playoffs during his MVP year... Tomlinson was great too of course but he had a better team around him and a good QB for a majority of his time

Pretty sure his former teammate Antonio Cromartie owns that title. That guy has like 12 kids I'm pretty sure.

Hey

Maybe those two had a big bet on who could keep making so many without getting a S B ring

Willis McGahee?

Just looked it up its only 10 kids with 9 different women.

Yep

I will always defend Mike Vick as the fastest most agile Qb or weapon. Easily the most fun to watch since Cunningham or Steve Young.. And those dudes aren’t even in the same stratosphere.... Too bad he did t just stick with Atlanta the whole time.. And too bad he made dumb decisions.. But talent wise= damn! Not to mention he was/is HANDS DOWN the greatest Madden player all time.. 95 Speed and 99 arm str lol

@@CT-nb5lm he’s good but wasn’t accurate and wouldn’t be better than some of the mobile Qb’s today

Drew Brees turned out to be a much better QB, even during Vick's peak years.

@@Diostillrocks Vick at his best day didn’t come close to what Brees was when brees won SB44 with New Orleans in 2009

Chris Celona More like a baller 😎

😂😂

Chris Celona LmFaAo

Dan Reeves is the stupidest coach ever. He lost 3 Superbowls with Elway under center? can you imagine that! Stupid,stiff neck, stubborn piece of guttersnipe white trailer trash.

@@gattodiossa7915 The coach isn't throwing the ball, in 2 of those superbowls they scored only 10 points Elway went 14 of 38 in one and 10 of 26 in the other. in case you can't do math that is well below a 50% completion percentage. In fact in the first super bowl he won he only completed 11 of 22 passes

true legend

Dan Reeves was only involved in 2 trades on this whole list. Bill Walsh was involved in more trades on his list then Dan Reeves was.

@M unfortunate for you, Most Americans don't like soccer especially American Soccer, and American Football is becoming more popular across the world especially with players from other countries making it into the league

@@jumblesgaming til the head injuries popped up

Ok, great observations Captain Obvious

@@kingdingaling2469 chill out kid he’s just paying his respects on the internet lmaoo tf

Bengals biggest mistake not hiring Bill Walsh for head coach.

To be fair they did get Champ Bailey by using that ammo in trades with Chicago and later got a good player in Lavar Arrington. But overall its shocking they didnt use that to become a great team. It's less shocking that Chicago somehow got a bad QB out of the deal.

Yes that’s crazy ditka Is in the hall of shame😂the redskins should be ashamed as well they should have went to the super bowl several times 😂

Pretty insane to think about, they literally had 2 entire drafts one year, and then half of the teams draft the next year. They drafted like 30 players in a two year span and literally did nothing with any of them.

2 words: Dan Snyder… I’m pretty sure we turned one of those picks into Brad Johnson who was a legit QB…

Cincinnati players of his early West Coast years believe if he got the job there and not in San Francisco, they'd have been a dynasty as well. That's how strong the belief and respect was for Walsh in NFL circles.

Not when it came to Rick Mirer.

The staple from Staples’

LOL

@Harry Engel LT Roman Oben He was old veteran and those years he gave them was all he had left in the tank. But he gave them their moneys worth for what they got for him.

They spent a 5th round pick to get him... That’s pretty good, actually..

5th RD pick starter who helped build a line for LT, not terrible, but not a staple lol

Phillip Rivers The NFL’s all time leading baby maker.

That’s why they were a dynasty in the 80’s. They spotted talent when no one else saw it.

Correction, Bill Walsh tricked those tricks

But not on draft day, therefore not on this list. Favre would not have started for Jerry Glanville. Putting him with Holmgren was the perfect system for Favre to flourish.

100% but they make it out like the Patriots got taken for when there was 0% chance they were drafting a WR in 1985 when they had spent the #1 overall pick in 1984 on Irving Fryar and had Stanley Morgan and Stephen Starring (3rd round pick in 83)

Was searching for this comment LOL

Dont forget the chargers also got Drew Brees in the second round from tge pick they got from the falcons

Steven Kunzer yeah, it sure did seem like we never got to see Vick as a finished product. He’d show off his freakish tools now and then, but only when the situation presented itself. Didn’t appear to ever be going all out. If he had, things might have been unfair, and others may have been embarrassed.

Michael Edwards yet both were on some of the best teams since the Triplets’ Cowboys

Michael Edwards thats because LT spent his career with Regular season Dynamo, Rivers. Dude can’t do much better than a wild card victory.

Michael Edwards language

😂😂

😄

Raider fan most likely...

The fact that he never ended up winning one is mind blowing

Yeah but brown is the most overrated RB ever

@@KoltonReitz Thanks for letting everyone know you're ignorant right off the bat 👍

@@KoltonReitz no he’s really not. Over 1k yards rushing every season while only playing 14 games. He was so far ahead of his contemporaries that he is probably the 2nd or 3rd greatest player ever.

made up for it with Tampa Tom!

Well you guys do have 2 super bowls while only being a franchise for about 50 years, considering there are teams that have been around since the beginning and have never even been to the Super Bowl, I’d say that’s not too bad.

Seems like he never gets mentioned

@@winstonsmith11 Paul Warfield was a genius catching a football. His route running was spot on. He was the PERFECT wide receiver. PERFECT!

What about Orlando Pace?

Ort London Fletcher or Isaac Bruce?@@DestinyZX1

thelovebat absolutely lol. Bills got two really good players to be fair but damn dude the chiefs got a super bowl and a guy that has the potential to be a first ballet hall of famer and one of the greatest qbs ever

Patrick is a flash in the pan, then he is a serious injury just waiting to happen. The stupid way that He plays

@@markedwards5904 You mean the injuries Mahomes suffered this year when his own offensive lineman stepped on his foot and suffering a dislocated kneecap when the Chiefs ran a routine QB sneak that Tom Brady has done all his career?

The Great Wee Wee I actually just watched a video can’t remeber who made it, about how during that era they had a year where they were the best team in the league by far and didn’t make the playoffs. (Had the best OER and DER, and outscoring opponents by a huge margin)

Brees and LT played together...what are you talking about

Willie Hardiman they had Gates,Rivers, and LT at their prime and still wasn’t enough. I’ll never get how they screwed it up...

i wonder that everyday. We go 14-2 in 2006 and lose in the first round to the pats...

Marlon McCree is the reason we don’t have one lmfao

To Release is To Resolve reason why they haven’t won a super bowl is cuz they don’t bring back them navy blue uniforms again lol

Willie Hardiman c

i don’t agree with the statement edgerin james is on marshall faulk level though

Look what the cowboys did with the Herchel walker trade 3 superbowls 4 straight NFC championship appearances.

Drew Brees is so iconic in New Orleans sometimes I forget he was on the Chargers.

crowtservo I member lmao

They said San Diego is the problem lmao

Now every game they play is an away game because their fanbase is gone.

Yeah, it was only a year ago????

Or when Tampa had those orange and white outfits

How much credit does Sean Peyton get for plugging in Brees to a perfect offense system? Rivers never had a top tier coach after Marty imo, Norv was ok but not what Brees has had his whole career in NO. It's sort of like Brady and Bill, how much do each owe to the others success?

The thing is, Rivers is an amazing QB (just last week he set an NFL record completing 28/29 passes and 25 straight to start the game). The organization (the Spanos family) is just not committed to winning. Having watched the Chargers for years, it's clear that Rivers has done his job and done it well his entire career. It's the team around him that has failed.

Imagine if Brees had stayed with the Chargers to this day and had LT? Oh my him and Keenan Allen and Melvin Gordon? And a really good defense? That won’t choke? Who knows what would’ve happened

None of you have made the point that under Brees the Chargers were last in the 2003 season and got the number 1 draft pick in 2004 in the first place and yet 2 years later they got the number 1 spot in the NFL under River's first year as a starter!

Too hung up on stupid ryan leaf and rivers to give brees a chance

He's also a Michael Jordan doppelganger

Jeff George =Jay Cutler

I was just coming here to mention that.

Yeah there's no question. We move up 17 spots that night and pickup the best player to ever play up to this point. 1st year starting: MVP 50, 5000 2nd. Super Bowl and SBMVP. Be more than willing to debate anyone....I'll take Pat!

There talking history not future

@@stevenbrown6720 and we are talking all time

But tbh...only the chefs could make good use of his talents with the coaching. If mahomes came to chicago in that draft...we would of ruined him

1, however with Stan Humphries as starting QB and Natrone Means (Business) as star RB.

Below avg qb. Not even a top 100 all time. Dudes from the run heavy 60s and 70s blow him away in yard, qb rating, tds, 🤣😂🤣there are several active players about to overtake him on the list. Within 10 yes, he won't even be a top 200 qb😅😆

Really? With who?

Korra idk but i just gotta feelimg he woulda won one by now

He had chances with several good teams, none of them could finish sadly

still can't figure out why they didn't just give the guy probation...an let him play an make money...but he was a coach killer....being an Atlanta fan since `66 what got me was trading Bret...but Glanville didn't care for him for some reason...Vick was like Neon Deon under center...exciting as hell.

CarolinaDab 19 Matt Ryan>>>Cam Newton Julio Jones>>>Kelvin Benjamin

Jay Cutler is an excellent comparison. Cam Newton is another QB that let his ego outgrow his talent. They are all players who are legends in their own mind. The NFL seems to have had quite a few of those. Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt was one and the Rams Lawrence Phillips also comes to mind. Players that have the skill and talent to be the very best in the game but fail to see that hardwork and dedication to your team wins championships. Imagine if Cutler or George had Doug Flutie’s passion and selflessness in playing the game.

Jay Cutler did way better than George Cutler got into the playoff more times than George did

Archie Lee Hershael Walker from Cowboys to Vikings. Cowboys drafted a good core of their Super Bowl teams from what they received from the Vikings.

@@robschumann9665 OBJ quickly becoming one of these

@@shab8182 I know right he is losing it

Absolutely. People thought the Chiefs were crazy for trading up 18 spots to get him. All I have to say is : Who's laughing now?

@@NickWuebker As a niner fan I wanted the niners to take even DeShaun Watson or Patrick mahomes. The 49ers fleece the bears into thinking that they were going to take Mitch trubisky. So the bears gave the 49ers a bunch of picks just to move up one spot to the number 2 pick and the bears took Mitch trubisky. I thought the 49ers are going to take DeShaun Watson with the number 3 pick or Patrick mahomes but they took Solomon Thomas lmao. Also congratulations to your chiefs but Patrick mahomes shouldn't been super bowl MVP. it should have went to Damien Williams the running back who had 115 yards rushing caught 4 passes for 30+ yards and had two TDs. Patrick mahomes had two interceptions and fumbled twice. If Damien Williams was somebody like Adrian Peterson or Marshall faulk he would have got the super bowl MVP.

There talking history not future

Wolverine Xk facts

Wolverine Xk this video was filmed years ago

Wolverine Xk this video is OLD...

Wolverine Xk omfg😂😂

Yeah this video has to be 10 years old. They called the Chargers "the best team in the league" lol

Yeah ok

Just goes to show that didn't have a clue how to evaluate talent or run a football team. They pissed away their chance with Bo Jackson by ruining his remaining eligibility for college baseball, then they picked Testaverde despite the fact that he threw FIVE interceptions in his last college game in the Fiesta Bowl. The Bucs were so bad back then that Chris Berman used to call the game between Green Bay and Tampa The Bay of Pigs.

Bestoftherest222 LT > Vick Brees > Vick You don't need both of them to be greater than Vick.

LT

Broncos 4L7 your dumb LT was better value then vick

meh if Vick had continued to play instead of getting arrested I feel it would have been a much tougher call. But LT and Brees are both phenomenal. I just cant believe Brees was looked over so much to be allowed to fall in to the second round. He has always had a rocket for an arm and great awareness even from his college tape. Regardless those were three of the best players of the decade to play the game and I am glad I got to see them all play.

L

Mike Youngblood welllll you can’t forget they lucked out with Kurt Warner becoming one of the best qbs in the league

Erine Cornwell lol come on dude

nah b thomas brady

I’m thinkin more Dan Marino/Kurt Warner

Yeah fr Lamar Jackson doesn't compare

*you

@@RealCGH L

Jay Cutler W Jay Goat

Jay Cutler maybe faster than Vince willfork in his 50's

Can you distinguish wide receivers and cornerbacks?

Jay Cutler is a bust

Jay no disrespect but I'm faster than u in both our primes and in 12 xD

not a draft trade

It involved picks, but I guess this list is only draft pick swaps, not pick-for-player swaps. The Hershel Walker deal is the #1 trade involving picks of all time.

otherwise the Brett Favre trade with Atlanta would be on here.

Joe Shmoebies No it's literal draft day trades. Thats why Manning for Rivers is on here

Not a draft day trade.

I personally don't think jerry rice was the goat he was great but I would rather have randy moss and calvin Johnson

Sideshow Bob moss is the goat

Sideshow Bob if i could go back in time and get any player, id get Lawrence Taylor.

Jerry Rice's case was in hindsight. What I'd find more impressive is how player who gets hyped out of college actually lives up to it with Lawrence Taylor being one of the examples despite his issues.

I like how when people try to dethrone Rice as the GOAT don't realize that playing WR isn't always about running 40 yds downfield and catching a jump ball smh. Rice was great at EVERYTHING and probably had the highest football IQ of any reciever ever.

It was a great trade, but the Bettis trade was outright theft. HOF back and a high 3 for a low 2 and 4.

No safety leaps over 2 lines to sack the QB in a single bound. Makes INT's 2 inches from the ground. Comes from off the TV screen to catch speedy WR's and make them look like they are in slow motion. I don't care WHAT Reed or Lott's numbers are, no safety has done the weird, strange, and inhuman things that Troy did. He's the best safety of all time on athleticism alone.

His father is named Eddie, but played in the Arena league. Not the same Eddie Brown that played for the Bengals and went to University of Miami. Antonio's father played for Louisiana Tech.

Agreed

They won it, but they had help. Like it or not, the referees' asinine officiating changed the momentum of that game!

This is draft trades, Hopkins wasn’t traded as part of the draft

Idiot

Dennis Williams, I disagree. The falcons were a playoff team when Vick came. Vick is a really good qb. In my opinion the chargers and Falcons won the trade

not exactly... i get what Vick did but he changed that whole city... they were a fun team to watch

Dennis Williams oj

Their HOF RB didn't get them a Super Bowl

Vick was a very subpar QB until he got to the Eagles.
