Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones may have the reputation as an old oil wildcatter, ready to aggressively risk assets and engineer trades in order to make a splash during the NFL Draft.
But Jones - or no one else in the league - doesn't come close to the quantity or quality of draft-day deals made by New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. (In 2020, he proved the shrewdest of moves can be made at a modest table with a dog as your assistant.) Under his direction, the Patriots have made 83 trades since 2000. Second-most? The Philadelphia Eagles with 75.
