The 10 Most One-Sided Trades in Recent NFL History

6. Cardinals Steal Anquan Boldin, Others in '03 Draft

AV Differential: 147

In 2003, the Saints were again involved in a noteworthy trade of the lopsided variety. This time, though, they found themselves on the wrong side of a massive draft-day deal with the Arizona Cardinals.

On the opening night of the draft, the two teams exchanged three selections apiece. The Saints received the 6th, 37th and 102nd overall picks and, in return, sent out numbers 17, 18 and 54.

The Saints took Georgia defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan, but Sullivan never amounted to much. He posted an AV of 10 in three NFL seasons, which makes him the third-best player of the three Saints selections. Second-rounder Jon Stinchcomb manned right tackle for many years and yielded an AV of 49. Even Montrae Holland, a guard by trade, accounted for an AV of 33 across eight seasons and three teams.

Altogether, the Saints fell short of a spectacular haul. The Cardinals, on the other hand, reaped the benefits of moving down, adding wide receiver Bryant Johnson, defensive end Calvin Pace and wide receiver Anquan Boldin, in that order.

Though Johnson -- the highest pick of the litter -- never had an AV over 6 (with a total of 30 for his career), Pace racked up a 91 AV in 13 seasons with the Cardinals and Jets. But Boldin has had the most impressive career, with 14 seasons and an AV of 118 to date. He enjoyed three Pro Bowl seasons in Arizona before moving on to play elsewhere.
