Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
San Diego moved up with New York in the 1989 draft, receiving second-round pick No. 51 and selecting quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver. The Giants received Nos. 64, 93 and 175, which became Bob Kratch, Lewis Tillman and Dave Popp. Tolliver started 19 games over two Chargers seasons, but Kratch and Tillman supplied longer New York service and both were part of the 1990 Super Bowl championship roster.
Trade 2 of 2
Atlanta acquired quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver from San Diego for a 1992 fifth-round pick, No. 131, used on linebacker Kevin Little. Tolliver appeared in 23 games across three Falcons seasons and made nine starts, giving Atlanta meaningful quarterback depth. Little did not appear in an NFL regular-season game for San Diego. The trade therefore produced a clear Falcons advantage from a modest mid-round cost.
