Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Indianapolis traded Pro Bowl guard Ron Solt to Philadelphia for a 1989 first-round pick and a 1990 fourth-rounder. The first became Andre Rison, who produced 820 receiving yards as a Colts rookie before becoming one of the league's premier receivers later in his career. Turning an established lineman into a first-round skill player plus another selection gave Indianapolis the stronger long-term asset return.
Trade 2 of 2
Atlanta converted the No. 1 pick in the 1990 draft into a broad package built around proven tackle Chris Hinton, explosive receiver Andre Rison and future first-round value. The 1991 first-rounder became Mike Pritchard, while the 1990 fifth-rounder became Reggie Redding. That collection gave the Falcons multiple productive starters and spread the risk of one premium selection across several valuable assets.
