Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers
Los Angeles turned three fringe players into the 1954 fourth-round pick used on Lester McClelland, but McClelland never played an NFL game. Pittsburgh got the only realized production: Nick Bolkovac appeared in 17 Steelers games and scored 57 points, while Bill Hegarty played one Pittsburgh game and George Porter never reached an NFL regular-season game. That gives Pittsburgh the stronger hindsight return.
