Question
Atlanta on Monday agreed to trade a second-round pick to Baltimore for Hayden Hurst. Hurst was originally a first-round pick of the Ravens. When was the last other occasion that a team traded away a second-round pick to obtain a tight end who had been selected in the first round?
Answer
Atlanta, in 2010, dealing for Tony Gonzalez. Two other such tight ends were involved in deals involving second-round picks the previous year (2009), with Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow moving. Two other former first-round tight ends have been traded in the last 20 years, but both went for less than a second-round pick -- Greg Olsen and Vernon Davis.
